First stage, gain motivation.
I trained at a gym five for years, during this time I though I was highly motivated, but the truth is I had motivation to go to the gym but I had no goal, so the workouts were near enough pointless. I didn’t want to lose weight or tone up, I just trained for no reason.
What were my goals ?
I needed find a sport or hobby was interested in doing
What did I want to achieve ?
I wanted to become a triathlete.
How did I get this idea?
I over heard a couple chatting about a triathlon, then I thought this was something for me,I wanted to give it ago. It was something completely new for me a whole lifestyle change, I have never felt so better, for the first time in my life something to train for, training with reason makes a huge difference in performance and motivation.
I record everything in a diary, on completion of each daily fitness program log it into the diary. This give me huge satisfaction each day, I can look back and see everyday has its meaning, no day is wasted.
