Need Motivation to Complete Your Fitness or Training Program?
For most of us, getting started in a fitness training program is a challenge, but once we begin the real challenge is not giving up. A fitness training expert has advice to keep us on track.
SONOMA, Calif. - Whether you are an athlete preparing for competition, or just trying to get into better shape, the greatest challenge with any fitness program is motivation to continue day after day.
"The reason most people quit their exercise program is simply because they are unable to see or feel any real progress to stay motivated to keep training," explained fitness expert Christopher Watson.
It is a story that repeats itself all across America every day. We finally go to the gym, go for a jog, or begin some sort of fitness training. We feel really good about getting started. Unfortunately, within only a short time what we started with so much enthusiasm fades quickly and our plans an goals dissolve away.
"We need daily goals to work towards in an organized way, We need to see our own daily progress to stay motivated and to keep coming back to strive for something more," said Watson. Goals must be measurable, and realistic. We need a specific plan for each workout, and we need some goal to strive for."
Unfortunately most of us do little if any organizing, and our goals are so unrealistic that we quickly fail instead of succeed. That method of training is a sure-fired way to throw a damp towel on our desire to work out each day. Before very long, we stop.
"I had to find a way to help people overcome the challenges of keeping a fitness journal. I know how beneficial it can be, but I also saw the difficulties of setting up and keeping a journal. That is why I created www.fitnessjournal.com," said Watson. "Now it is simple to start and easy to do."
