It Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect, Just Consistent

Are you going through your workouts and noticing that you are not at the weight you want, or you are feeling sluggish? If this is a constant thing, then you may be overtraining. Or possibly you need to look at your nutrition plan. If all those things are in order and if this is a rare occurrence, you should take heart; on your fitness journey not everything is perfect. You may have had a rough day at the office, or a late night. If you stay consistent, you will eventually hit the nail on the head. 

Your main focus should be that you are following your commitment in this instance. I myself have found that sometimes driving through workouts on days I am down and out has gotten me through slumps I am going through. I am certainly not, nor would I ever advocate training if you feel a sharp pain, or may have or be on the verge of an injury, in that case seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. 

What I am saying is that sometimes the days when we think we can do the least, end up being the days we do the most. On the flip side, on days when we feel like we can take on the world we sometimes have less than stellar results; the body is a tricky thing and we have to learn to listen to it.

Don’t forget to check out my website, www.automaticfitnessplus.com, and e-mail me at jlkwamh@yahoo.com if you have any questions or want to find out about personal training packages.

Until next time keep shooting for your goals.

As a child I was inactive and overweight. That changed for me around age 13 when I became involved in sports.  By age 19, I had entered the competitive bodybuilding arena.   As a result of questions I was receiving from the public regarding training, etc, I became a Certified Personal Trainer.

For the last 13 years, I have been helping people with their fitness goals whether it is weight loss, weight gain or reshaping themselves at their goal weight.  I enjoy assisting people by providing the tools they need to achieve their fitness goals.  It is a privileged to inform and educate the readers of The Las Vegas Informer so that they can have the knowledge and confidence to reach their goals.
