Now that January is over…how are your fitness goals coming along?
Almost every resolution or goal is about three things; making more money, losing weight or having better relationships.
Losing weight and getting fit is a resolution that so many people fall off from quickly. But sometimes a quote can give you the spark to get back on track. Β
One I read recently is truer than ever. βDon’t talk, just act — Don’t say, just show — Don’t promise, just prove.β I wish I could give credit to someone for it but after extensive research, itβs always accredited to βunknown.β
Hereβs why I think this quote can help you crush it in your fitness journey.
Part I: Don’t Talk, Just Act
People love to talk a big game. They say things like βIβm going to gain 10 pounds of muscleβ or βIβm going to get in the best shape of my life this year.β
But oftentimes thatβs all it is, just talk.
Not enough people are actually executive on their goals and dreams. If you donβt want 2019 to be the same year as 2018 or 2017, itβs up to you take action and act on them.
The next time you talk a big game, its time to back it up. Create a detailed fitness plan, stick to it and follow through with your words.
Make sure you’re 100% committed. To fulfill your promises, you have to do it even when you donβt want too.
One of the worst things you can do is only toΒ act when you βfeel like it.β If thatβs the case, youβre probably never going to end up actually doing it.
Part II: Don’t Say, Just Show
Instead of telling people at work and friends in your life, show them with your consistent activity. Donβt make fitness a part of your life, make it your life.
If you really want the results, you need to show people with your daily routine. And these arenβt just big activities like working out or running 5x per week.
Itβs the little things like choosing a healthy meal at a restaurant, skipping a happy hour or bringing lunch to work every day. Oftentimes the little things will make the biggest difference in your fitness journey.
Part III: Don’t Promise, Just Prove
Making real and lasting change to your physique isnβt something that you can accomplish overnight. Quit trying to promise people you’re going to make a change and instead, prove it with consistency.
The only way to lasting success is doing the right stuff over and over again. One week of healthy eating and constant exercise isnβt going to give you the epic results you want.
Prove yourself and people that doubt you wrong by sticking with it. Getting super fit is about staying consistent and persistent to reach your goals.
Crush Your Fitness Goals
Motivation is great, but it doesnβt always last. As John Maxwell said, βMotivation gets you going. Discipline keeps you growing.β
While we have tons of motivational playlists to help keep you motivated, itβs up to you build fitness into your life. Let it run your life and watch how positive of an impact it can have on other areas as well.
Remember, discipline is contagious. A fitness journey will do more than just change your body, it will change your mindset and belief about yourself forever.
