The Power of having a specific Weight Loss goal.

So it's the last week of the year, most of us are not quite there in terms of healthy lifestyle motivation.

My nutrition is better than the last few days, but it hasn't quite returned to normal!

If you were just starting an exercise programme or updating your programme at the beginning of the new year, how would you describe your goals to a trainer?

The likelihood of you achieving your goals hugely increases when you know exactly what you would like your outcome to be.

If you say to your self " I want to lose a bit of weight" or I want to get fitter" these goals are very broad.

Try and be as exact as you can.

If your goal is to lose, to lose how much exactly? Is it to be lighter on the weighing scales, has a Doctor advised you to lower your BMI? Is it to change visually? How? What will the new you look like? Is it to fit into different clothes, or change clothes size? Is it to be healthier? To decrease the load on the body to move without joint pain, to increase life expectancy to see your children/ grand children grow up?

When you define and give clarity to your goal, I bet you found your motivation increasing a little?
