Fat Loss Workout Goals

Fat Loss Workout Goals

Yes, I know. It's September. Not Dec. 31st. But it is always a good time to think about goal setting for your fat loss workouts. Or maybe you could review your fat loss goals from last Jan. 1. Or at the very least, simply review your workouts and see if they are getting you anywhere. Then you can think about altering your fat loss goals and improving the your workouts.

Here's an article from the fat loss master Tom Venuto about goal setting for fat loss.

Jim Rohn once said, "I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps it's because escape is easier than change."

If the statistics from motivation experts and success psychologists are correct (95% of the people in the world do NOT have written goals and fail, while 5% have written goals and succeed), then Mr Rohn's observation really IS quite fascinating isn't it?

If clear, scientifically-written goals are the key to success, then why wouldn't more people make the timeand effort to set goals? Beats me. Mystery of life.

Unfortunately for most people, the odds for successare actually even lower, because out of the few people whodo set goals, most don't take goal setting seriously andthey don't do it scientifically.

At the beginning of every year, you see countless articlesabout getting fit, losing fat, and nearly everyone talks about "new years resolutions."

And that's the problem - you may think you are settingreal goals, but if you're like most people, you're probably only making flimsy, wishy-washy, powerless "resolutions."

Zig ziglar once said that, "A goal casually set and lightlytaken will be freely abandonded at the first obstacle."

You might want to go back and read that quote again,maybe even write it down or print it out, because that one hits the bullseye!

This truly explains why new years resolutions almost never work, and why so few people can keep off the pounds after they get rid of them.

Goal setting should not be casual or lightly taken. Goal setting is an important and serious matter. This is not a game - this is your life, and you only have one life to live.

Goal setting is so important, that I always teach goalsetting and mind dynamics first, and only THEN, do I teach nutrition and training second.

In fact, I devoted the entire first chapter of my book,Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM) to this subject of goals and constructive "mind programming" for success

I don't care how much you know about nutrition or exercise,until specialized knowledge is linked with purpose, visionand goals, the knowledge is useless and there can be no intelligent accomplishment.

If you want to learn more about the real proven scienceof achieving goals and getting the body you want, then going to BurnTheFat.com and getting the Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle ebook may be the most important investmen't you make this entire year...

Why? Because you won't just learn what fat burning foods to eat or how to exercise for burning fat, you will also learnhow to set goals scientifically and how to harness the awesomepower of your mind to help you acheive your goals and to putyourself in that elite group of the 5% who succeed.

As you start thinking about your goals for 2006 rightNow, I'd like to help you start the year off right by sharingone very valuable and powerful tip:

*** Set realistic goals, without limits ***

I know that may sound contradictory. How can you set a goal that is realistic and also has no limits?

Let me explain

As a fat loss coach, I sometimes have a dilemma...

One one hand, I want my clients and proteges to set goalswhich are achievable and realistic. But on the other hand,I hate to set limits on what someone can or cannot achieve.

I like to say that If youre going to question anything, question your limits.

Here's what I suggest to do when you set your goals for 2006:

Set goals that are specific, measureable, ambitious, andhave a realistic time frame (deadline).

But don't stop there...

This year, turn your goals into NO LIMIT goals!

As the subconscious mind tends to take you literally and at your own estimation, why put a definite cap on your goalby stopping with a goal statement like, "I am losing 6% body fat by April 15th?"Â Why not say, "I am losing 6% body fat OR MORE by April 15th," or,"I am gaining AT LEAST 12 pound of lean muscle in the nextthree months."

When you say, "I will achieve X OR BETTER," you can have a realistic goal, but one without limits.

Make the time to set your goals, today! Take it seriously and set your goals without limits.

Do it and this could be the best year of your life.

Train hard and expect success,
