Exercise should be tied to a lifestyle, not necessarily short term events. While short term goals can serve as an indicator for success going forward, many people do not hold the line when they reach a new level. If someone looks forward to training 3-6 days per week at varying levels indefinitely, this is more sustainable than someone exercising for a tropical vacation.
Tips for accountability
01 : Write or type your scheduled exercise sessions into a weekly calendar. Make sure you are unavailable to anyone during these times.
02 : Plan your meals out at least 2 days in advance, write them down in a fitness journal or calendar. These meal notes can be brief or detailed, but must be logged as a plan.
03 : Drink ample amounts of water each day. Get a special container that is personalized for yourself-you will be using it dozens of times per day. Be aware of your hydration levels.
04 : Never be caught without a healthy meal option. When someone is attempting to lose fat and gain muscle, it may occur that food was not prepared, packed or planned out correctly. This results in a hasty and often unhealthy food choice.
