If you have been reading this for a while, then i congratulate you for your perserverance and commitment, which shows you have qualities that should enable you to be and get into shape.
There are three types of people when it comes to getting into shape.
The people who are keen to start with, yet find some reason or excuse to quit early in their quest to get into shape.There is an endless list of excuses they pick from and none of those reasons to stop training are usually strong, and will often apply to other areas of their life.
For example, some people take up tennis and start hitting the ball better and better within the first couple of weeks, and they get enthused.
Then, all of a sudden the progress can dry up and they quit at the first sign they have to work a bit harder and show more commitment to practice.
These people are known as the “could have, would have, should have” type who usually talk a good game too, but offer little action!
Then you have the second type who get really enthusiastic straight away, go at things like a bull at a gate, then often try and train every day, sometimes twice a day because they are so keen!!! They are often so keen they will buy books on diet straight away, buy exercise equipment and have all the latest training gear.
Then around a month later, because they have gone at it so hard, they more often than not lose enthusiasm completely or get injured and throw the towel in!!!
This type of indidual then usually moves on to something else, immerses himself in that activity or hobby, with usually the same frustrating results.
The third type is the most successful because they work at the fundamentals every day, constantly looking at how to become better.
These people usually approach things in a more moderate manner, and know they are in it for the long term. A healthy lifestyle is exactly that, a “lifestyle”. These people look to become masters at what they are doing, getting fitter despite getting older by working smarter. Eating better and healthier despite having a busy family life but shopping smarter.
They develop more energy by paying more attention to sleep and rest and recovery.
This type of people are smart and will be honest about their improvements and how they can pick themselves up again if they fall down from time to time.
The question is what type of you? The bottom line is that if you are consistent at eveything in your healthy lifestyle, then group number three could easily be you and means you are likely to be in shape for life!!!!
