In my extent experience as a Fitness Expert and my personal experience in the fitness way of being I've come across many different people who all come to the gym for many different reasons. Some come for vanity while others are more concerned with their longevity.
Whether you're at the gym for a good reason or not there will only be ONE factor that'll determine whether or not you achieve this goal whatever the said goal is and it's simply this:
"Do I know what the hell I'm doing?"
Ask yourself this very important question and it's not important because it's the sole reason for your goals to be succeeded or not, but it's the constant concern of safety! If you don't know what you're doing you stand a HUGE chance of getting hurt and that, to me, is far worse than not achieving your goals as quickly as you want.
So unless you've researched every thing on working out that you possibly could or workout with someone who knows what they're doing, chances are that you're trying to 'Wing" it. I hate to break it to you but you cannot "wing" this lifestyle. Winging it here leads to herniated discs, torn rotator cuffs and lifetime injuries.
Many fitness enthusiasts and supporters say to hire a trainer. Even if it's to properly learn form. It's worth the investment and it truely is.
One thing so many people have the misconception of is that personal training is a "luxury" or that only rich people can afford personal trainers.
Luxuries are NOT investments in your health and well-being. Luxuries are frivolous spending on commodities you don't need and serve no other purpose than simply to have and that's it. This investment is for everyone who's ready to commit to a healthier and better life.
So when you're out shopping for clothes you don't need, shoes you don't wear, fine dining on things that make you fat and picking up the tab at the bar for drinks that poison you, take a look in the mirror. If you can honestly say you're happy with what's looking back at you, then by all means have your food, your drink and enjoy your clothes.
If you don't like what's looking back at you then I'd say it's time to make the commitment to a better you. I'm not saying that you'll need a personal trainer for life and I'm not saying you cannot do it on your own. I'm simply saying that for all the money you spend on your commodities; you could use that money to invest in a healthier, happier and hotter you.
At the end of the day, we have no one to blame but ourselves for our shortcomings. Whether they may be hereditary or not, it's still no excuse to not do anything about it
Happy Training
