"You Can't Jump To The Top"

When you set impossible fitness goals, you’re just setting yourself up for failure. You may be able to stick to a rigid exercise schedule in the beginning, but you won’t be able to sustain it over time. This is especially true if  you're not used to hard core training. It’s just too big of a goal! So put aside those sky-high unrealistic goals in the beginning and just focus on setting healthy, achievable ones instead. 

Approach each goal like you approach stairs – one step at a time. If you stood at the bottom of a tall staircase, could you jump from the very bottom to the very top? No, not even if you wish extra, EXTRA hard! But if you scale down the bigger picture, which is to get to the top, you may just be able to jump past a few steps on your way up. Getting to the top is always attainable if you set your mind and commit to it.  Just know it takes time to get to that place and you need to be patient. Let your desire and passion fuel you everyday as you take each step up that staircase to that goal. Believe me it's more worth it when you work hard for it.  If it was so easy as jumping to the top in anything in life we all would be there.

Remember, your body has physical and mental limitations. It can only do so much at a time. But if you take it slow and give your body the time it needs to adapt to your exercise goals, you will get what you want – a slimmer, fitter, healthier you! Always remember to go that extra mile when you're training. It's never as crowed on that road and will set you apart from the crowd.
