No one is going to be more committed to your fitness journey than you, and maybe your personal trainer. But after the session, or even after a long day at work, when we arrive home tired and wanting to unwind, that's when temptation can hit us the hardest.
And that's where the real work begins.
Here are some tips to create a support network for your training:
1) You don't need to tell the world, but tell a friend.
Have an accountability partner. Someone who can understand the struggles you are facing and will work with you on your journey. Maybe they can offer some support or can help you through some of the challenges you are facing.
2) Be selective with your team.
Not everyone will be happy for you when you start to take better care of yourself. Some people will feel worse about themselves when they see your health and fitness reaching new levels. They may unknowingly try to hold you back.
3) Train with a group.
A group fitness class or boot camp can create a community atmosphere where members push each other to hit and surpass their goals. That and a spirit of friendly competition always helps to boost the motivation!
4) Celebrate the success of other people.
Congratulate others on their accomplishments. The more you are able to encourage the success of others, the more confident you will feel about yourself and about reaching your own goals.
If you want to grow your dreams, you've got to grow your team! Building a support network and being actively engaged in the support of others will make the process of moving forward in your fitness far more effective and enjoyable!
