What Are You Waiting For?

I recently came across an interesting article that stated that one of the reasons many people fail to reach their fitness goals is that they spend too much time analyzing and trying to put together a "perfect" plan, rather than just start working out.
How many times have you said "right now is not the perfect time to begin training. Or I won't work out today because I haven't put together my training plan"?

Yes, plans are important. We all know that saying "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail," but what most people don't realize is that every small positive change you make will help get you to where you need and want to be.

Not working out before Thanksgiving because you're going to "blow it" by eating a big meal is really counterproductive. By working out, you will burn hundreds of calories which you can effectively subtract from your big meal. I'm not saying you should excuse eating big meals all the time just by working out ahead of time. All I'm suggesting is that every calorie you burn, every weight you lift and every nutritious meal choice you make will have a positive impact.

While you're waiting to put together your plan, begin with small changes and build on it daily until you have a plan that works for you. And remember, you can always tweak a plan. Try new things and keep workouts and meals you like while discarding those that don't work for you. In no time at all, you will find your fitness goals are within reach!

So, what are you waiting for?
