I was thinking one day what it really and truly takes to reach your fitness goals. Whether the goal is to gain muscle, lose fat, run faster, or whatever, what does it take?
I started thinking about achieving my fitness goals, as well as helping those people I train to reach their fitness goals, and as much as I want to say that something like a new routine or the latest and greatest workout will help you reach your fitness goals, all it really takes is blood, sweat, and tears.
You have to push yourself when you workout every time you hit the gym, take a jog, or swing a kettlebell. When you set your fitness goal, you have to see yourself achieving it, then do what it takes to make it happen.
I can tell you what won't get you there is a lack of intensity in your training and using the bare minimum in what you can lift each and every time, never progressing, and doing a ton of exercises to sculpt your body. If you follow what I say of training hard, training heavy, and training efficiently, you'd be leagues above 99% of the population.
Most people don't train hard enough to see real results. You have to push yourself to a place you've never been if you want to see results you've never seen. When you do the same thing over and over again and you can expect the same mediocre results. What you should do is run that extra mile, sprint that extra hill, tack on some more weight on that bar or pick a heavier kettlebell.
If you want to reach your fitness goals, you will be much more likely to succeed if you train hard with as much intensity as possible. While it would be nice if there was some magic solution to reaching your goals, you should be happy to know that while the solution (i.e. hard work) is not easy, it is simple. - 15266
