Summary

Don't delay your fitness goals - do it now! Complete that rep or set, go for a walk, take your first step. Become the person you want to be.

Don't Delay Your Fitness Goals: Start Now!

Taking your first steps and the subsequent steps moves you closer to your goal. Too many people will "start tomorrow" or, once they begin, quit when it gets hard or when the initial motivation wears off.

This is not about a 4, 6, or 12-week diet or workout routine, it is about taking steps that become habits. Lean, strong people do certain things (and avoid certain things) regularly.

You will experience pain and anguish, but if you do not make the change you will still be stuck without your goals (and likely having slid further away from them) and experience pain. Think about people who seek comfort and avoid pain all their lives - does pain not creep up to them eventually?

Don't Delay Your Fitness Goals: Every Workout & Meal Matters!

Andrew shares a story of a workout he did not want to do and almost quit. He ended up turning on the camera, getting over his negative feelings, and the workout actually went pretty well.

Visualize the person you want to be and what that person would do. Alternatively, you may envision what your future looks like if you fail to make the changes you desire.

Don't delay your fitness goals! Start (or continue) today.
