You want to be fit, feel good and look great. Awesome!
Unfortunately, many people are going about it the wrong way. In fact, you may be searching the internet right now for the newest fad diet or quick fix to fitness.
The Problem
A common problem is not wanting to give up unhealthy habits for healthy ones. Instead of looking at all the positive things that would be gained, there is a belief that something in life is lost. And many people believe that fitness is a burdensome process.
This type of thinking usually leads to sorta-kinda trying to get fit and with that comes sorta-kinda fitness results.
A common scenario is not being able to commit to a healthy lifestyle. This often includes blaming others and ourselves for eating off track and making excuses for missing workouts. The truth about fitness is when it’s not done consistently, small to no results are the outcome.
We are wasting too much time and missing too many opportunities to get healthy. Why is that? What is going on in your life where health is no longer a priority? Instead of trying to figure this out, unhealthy is accepted as the new normal. And this is an unfortunate truth.
Other Factors
A large percentage of people have great intentions and even put in some effort to eat right and exercise. However, our mental outlook about ourselves sometimes halts the process. Our mind plays negative games, you may hear a hurtful comment, or not seeing immediate results can cause frustration. What it comes down to is mental and physical readiness are important components to getting fit.
- Partying too much with friends or at home.
- Eating unhealthy processed food half the time.
- Managing only one or two workouts per week.
- Being in denial about unhealthy habits
Resentment can also be a problem with sorta-kinda fitness. You fail to understand why you’re not losing fat or not seeing muscle. This typically leads to negativity, more self-doubt, and believing fitness just can’t happen for you.
Fixing the Problem
Acknowledging unhealthy habits keeping you from reaching your goals is important. If you believe nothing is wrong, nothing will change.
When you honestly start taking responsibility for your health is when true fitness happens. Fitness is a lifestyle and sorta kinda just doesn’t work.
Helpful tips to adopt a healthy lifestyle include:
- Stop looking for quick fixes
- Be honest with yourself and others
- Drop the diet mentality
- Remain realistic about your results
- Adopt a positive attitude
- Focus on health not weight
- Be patient with your progress
- Keep going
