Are you having trouble reaching your goals? It may be because you have set goals that are based on results rather than behaviours. Many goals based on results are hard to achieve because we can’t really control them. Losing fat, gaining muscle and improving performance aren’t exact sciences which is why there is so many different approaches to achieving these things. If you choose the wrong approach for your body, you probably won’t get the results you deserve.
When starting out you don’t really know what works for you so setting results based goals may be setting you up for failure. It is better to set your goals based on behaviours, things that you can control. For example, if you set a goal to exercise 4 times a week and you meet that goal you can feel proud that you have achieved something. This is very different to setting a goal to lose a certain amount of week based on 4 training sessions a week. What if you don’t lose the weight even though you’ve followed the plan?
If you set your goals based on behaviours you control your results through your self discipline. You can and should continue to monitor and evaluate your progress, doing so allows you to adjust your behavioural goals if necessary. Achieving your behavioural goals is a source of satisfaction and motivation that will help push you further along the health and fitness path.
