Personal trainers have a passion for performance. They take fitness seriously – and it shows – it’s essential not only for their businesses to be successful, but for their own personal health and success as well. What are their success secrets – and how can you incorporate them into your fitness regime to enjoy more success in your workouts?
Start with a problem
Most trainers have access to the latest sports science – and the latest fitness equipment. Guess what? So do you! If you’re not sure where you should start on your fitness plan, there are a multitude of resources on the internet. If your problem where to start – the solution is to just start, then track your progress. Using tools such as a FitBit allow you to easily track your workouts, track your caloric intake, even track your sleep. Books such as Body for Life by Bill Phillips gives you a great starting point to plan your workouts, whether they are strength based, cardio-based, or both. And, when it comes to equipment, Fitness 4 Home Superstore can help you pick the right equipment for your fitness needs.
Be Tough
For a trainer’s business to succeed, they need to be ready to fail – then get back up again, learn from the mistake, and try something different. The same holds true for your fitness plan. If you find that running 10 miles a day on your treadmill means you’re bored, unmotivated, and your knees are starting to hurt, causing your motivation to plummet and your results to plateau (or worse) – then it’s time to change things up. Try something new, something that keeps you motivated as well as keeps you going. Get tough, get going, keep working on it! Success can be measured not just by how well you progress, but how you progress through failure!
A healthy mind comes before a healthy body
Without the right mindset, no fitness plan will work. Having a goal is important. But so is gratitude. You many not be where you want to be – yet. But, be thankful that you are moving forward toward them, and that you have the opportunity to keep improving!
The most important measurement of success
The most important measurement isn’t if you lost 5 lbs. this week. Or that your waist size shrunk 1″. The most important measurement is simple. Your actions. You can think about getting fit. But did you do something about it this week? Focus on your actions the results will follow!
