Personal training ramble:
Perhaps the biggest reason people fail with their fitness goals is due to what I call an expectation vs reality mismatch.
Let’s assume you thought you’d be six-pack lean in 6 weeks. In the early stages, your motivation is high because all you know is in six weeks you’re going to be ripped. But as you get closer to the six-week mark and your progress is not where you anticipated it to be – motivation starts to dwindle. Eventually, six weeks come and go and you haven’t achieved the six-pack you were convinced you’d have by now, and so, you give up.
This is an expectation vs reality mismatch. When your expectation of achieving a goal (like, abs in 6 weeks) is mismatched to the reality of achieving that goal (you actually needed 16 weeks) – you become demotivated and give up.
This is why setting realistic expectations from the start is so important. If you know that, based on your
starting position, you need 16 weeks to lose fat – and six weeks go by and you’re not there yet; you’re not stressing because you know that you still have another 10 weeks left.
It’s awesome that you “want a six pack”, or “bigger biceps”, or whatever – but, at the same time you need to have realistic expectations of how long it will take for you to achieve the goal based on your starting position.
Enjoy
