No Fail Fitness and Weight Loss Resolution Tips

1. Visualize your end result. Find a photo of the body you want and photoshop your face onto it. Put it on your desktop background, your bathroom mirror, your refrigerator. Believe you can achieve it and remind yourself of your goal throughout the day.
2. Get a fitness assessment. We all know we should consult with a doctor but it is hard to know how far you've come if you don't know where you started. Note your measurements, weight and bodyfat. The more you know at the start, the easier it will be to see progress.
3. A goal without a plan is only a wish. You can't climb a mountain without starting at the bottom, right? When you set your major goal, take a little extra time and break it down into smaller achievable steps. You may have a goal for the year but what would your goal be for this month in order to achieve it? For this week? For today?
4. Set small achievable goals that build momentum. Every time you achieve a small goal you have another success under your belt. Whether it is finishing today's workout, losing 5 pounds or running a mile, you build your confidence with each small success.
5. Create a schedule to reinforce consistency. You wouldn't consider canceling a doctor's appointment so why would you cancel a workout at the last minute. Set your schedule and keep it.
6. Keep a journal of your exercise and dietary intake on a daily basis to be present with the day-to-day process. Keeping a journal not only helps you be mindful of what and how much you eat but it will also provide a baseline to show improvements in fitness.
7. Change up your workout routine every 4-6 weeks. Muscles adapt and so do our mind. Just as our minds become bored, so do our muscles and growth stops. If we constantly challenge our body and mind, we'll continue to be engaged and grow through workouts.
8. Troubleshoot your excuses. Write down your excuses for not eating righ and exercising. Once you write them down and give them some thought you may just find that your excuses don't hold water.
9. Tell all of your friends your goals. If at all possible, get your friends in on the program too. The support of those close to you and a team approach will provide a great safety net for you and them to achieve your goals.
10. Be patient with seeing results. If you don't feel like you're seeing any results, take all your measurements again. You might be pleasantly surprised. If you still don't see any results, examine your food and exercise journal. If you've been honest you'll easily find places for improvement.
