Lets discuss what I term as Muscle and Fitness -- The First KeyIn a previous article, I went through the Three Keys To Success in any muscle and fitness regime that you use. Remember -- BE - DO - HAVE?If you missed this article, you can get it here...Fitness GoalIf youve read it, heres just a very quick overview of what it was about:1. Decide what you want to HAVE. What are your goals?2. Decide what the necessary steps are, that you must DO to reach those goals.3. Choose what you need to BE. What do you need to become in order to DO what is necessary to HAVE what you want?If you are at all confused about this article, please re-read it, and again if necessary. Youve really got to get this right so that you can succeed in anything you choose to do, including achieving any sort of success with your fitness goals.Assuming you understand the concept Ive just discussed, here are the ten most important steps of the HAVE key:1. Get out a note pad and pen. Lets name the very top of the page Muscle and Fitness Goals.2. Write the day and date just below the title.3. Decide what your ultimate fitness goal is. When all is said and done, what is it that you really want to have out of your Muscle and Fitness regime? What is that end result that youre trying so hard to get? Write it down.4. Its not enough to want just one thing, because you wont feel justified in doing something well if thats all there is to it. So lets justify it. Are there other benefits that you want your training program to achieve? This is the time to think. Just think about what you want.For example, it could be to become more aerobically fit and lose weight, while increasing your lean muscle, increasing your confidence and building up your joints. Think of the benefits that youd like to have as a result of your training routine, as well as the ultimate goal in 3 above. Write them down.5. Take your time. Dont rush it. Just review what youve written so far. Is everything you want to HAVE written in your note pad?If so, great. If not, then continue to write your goals. Do this until you just cant think anymore, or until your head hurts.6. Now just leave everything alone and go about your daily routine. Forget about what youve just written for a few days. Just give yourself a break. You can come back later on to your muscle and fitness Have key.7. After a few days, I want you to look through what youve written. Some of you will only have a few lines done, while others may have written an essay. Either way is good. Just read it again.8. Is there anything youd like to add? If so, write it down. Any ideas that spring to mind, write those down too. If youre satisfied with the end result - great.9. Now its time to re-write those goals. So move to a new page on your note pad and give it the same name again -- Muscle and Fitness Goals Refined. Then write the date just below that.You need to shorten your goals so that theyre specific and achievable by a certain time. At the same time they must have the essence of what you want to have achieved by the end of your training program. For example:If one of your goals is to have lost weight. Then word it so that its specific, time limited and has the essence of what you want to achieve. So you would write it like this:"I am achieving a weight loss of 16lbs by March 5th, 2005."Or --"I am increasing my arm size to 16 inches by April 21, 2005."Get what I mean?10. Now that you have written your goals, again, I want you to get a card. Lets say Postcard size. Again write the title: My Muscle and Fitness Goals and the date of starting your program.Now write those specific goals onto your card. These are now ready to be a part of your training routine. Every time youre about to commence your training, just read those goals aloud.As you do, see yourself perform those exercises. Feel your muscle work, your heart pump and how great it is to be achieving your goals.I have got you to write your goals three times. Did you notice that?Why?Because I want you to --* Establish those goals in you heart and in your mind.* To be passionate about those goals that mean so much to you.* To feel the benefits, as if you already have achieved your goals* To see the benefits, as if you already have achieved them.To conclude, follow these ten steps. Be patient. Be focused. And believe that this will help, even if you are doubtful. Where most people fail, is the point where they think negatively. As soon as you begin this negative thought process, you have damaged your chance of success on that occassion. If this happens, correct it immediately and continue.Muscle and Fitness is the HAVE key. There are still the BE and DO keys to go. But, thats for my next article. Make sure you read all related articles and youll be well on your way to success in your Muscle and Fitness program.
