Why You Aren’t Reaching Your Fitness Goals

I hear it all of the time – I have done EVERYTHING and haven’t reached my goals. I always end up right back where I started. So why is it so easy for some people to reach their goals and so difficult for other people?

First, you should know it really probably isn’t as easy for other people as you think. Everything always looks easier from the outside looking in.  Also, some people are just born skinny – that does not mean they are healthy or happy with their body. You can never know what someone goes through just by looking at them.

Now let’s talk about why your goals aren’t working.

1.     Your goals aren’t realistic. This is so common. We all are inundated with messages constantly telling us we can be perfect. Just look on social media. Everyone is perfect – or they appear to be. But let’s be real – you cannot lose 20 pounds in a week. You can’t hit a ridiculously high PR in a week. Fitness takes time. If your goal is big that is ok – just set a realistic time expectation to go along with it. If you aren’t sure, then talk to a professional.

2.     You lack discipline. This is pretty common. You start and give up. Or you lack consistency. You cannot get where you want to be by working out one day a week. You cannot just work out when you feel like it.

3.     Your plan sucks. Sorry not sorry. If your goal is realistic and you are disciplined and not seeing results, then something about your plan sucks. Either your fitness plan or your nutrition plan.

4.     You spend too much time listening to every random “fitpro” on social that has no actual training. There is a reason that trainers and nutritionists go to school and take tests.

5.     You’re relying on fads or gimmicks. They DO NOT work. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

6.     Your mind isn’t there. This should probably be number one. Everything in life goes back to mindset. If your mind isn’t in the right place, then your body won’t be either.

If you are ready for real, sustainable change I am here for you.
