There was an article that was published today in Precision Nutrition that discussed why people struggle to attain the look they want.
Even though people are educated, eat well, and exercise, they are not always able to achieve their fitness goals.
Part of the problem is the fact that people are not accountable to anyone, and therefore, are not working hard enough to achieve them. Something happens to derail them, and these common setbacks make it harder for them to realize their ideal version of themselves.
Achieving the body you have always wanted is very hard; it requires commitment, determination, hard work, clean eating and adequate recovery. If you are finding it hard to achieve your goals, then it may be time to try to recruit others to your cause.
Find a workout buddy. Having to meet someone at the gym who has similar goals to your own can increase your chances of following through on a workout.
Hire a coach. There are plenty of options for this one: personal trainer/small groups/online or virtual coaching. The main thing is that someone else is overseeing your plan and checking in with you to check on your compliance.
Partner. The nutritional aspect of your plan is often the hardest, and it is harder when you are busy, have a family to worry about and struggle to make food. Talking to your partner about your goals and getting their support can be a huge weight off your shoulders. That person is there with you every day keeping you on track, and may even join you in your adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
Reaching your goals is possible, but it takes hard work and proper coaching. Working with others can help you get there, and stay there.
