Why do many people have trouble making exercise a regular habit and keeping on track with their fitness program?
One of the biggest reasons people drop their exercise routine is because of failing to plan and prepare for the long-haul. After a few over-zealous weeks enthusiasm seems to fade and eventually you realize that a regular exercise program is a long-term commitment, not something you can accomplish in a few weeks.
Another reason exercise programs fail is because they are too difficult. Many people set out with a lot of ambition and enthusiasm and start out with some big goals: "I'm going to do 50 push ups every day" or "I'm going to jog 45 minutes every day" and set goals that are too difficult to sustain for very long. You may be able to pull off a few days, but soon you run out of energy and you scrap the whole program.
Finally, we set out to do too much. We set goals to do cardio, lift weights, eat healthy, quit sweets, stop drinking soda, go to bed earlier, and quit drinking alcohol. While each of these is a great goal, they are a bit overwhelming to take on all at once.
The problem with establishing multiple goals is that you cannot completely focus on one goal if you're trying to do all the others at the same time. As a result, you get frustrated, your fitness program gets derailed, and you fall off the track, resuming old habits like eating junk food and skipping workouts.
Often, the first muscle to train is your mind. Losing weight or lifting weights is as much about motivation, desire and discipline as it is about just diet and exercise. First make a mental decision that a fitness program is something you want to do and take the time to focus on the reason you want to do it.0 -
