Fitness Is A Journey

My personal fitness journey has been a very long and arduous one and the more I exercise

and practice a healthy lifestyle, the more my goals change and the more I learn. I am in some respect satisfied with my current level of fitness but it took me a very long time to get to where I was when I decided I wanted to get in shape to where I am now. The most important part of everything that contributed to my eventually success was my grit and determination. I was bent on never giving up and reaching my fitness goals and that was the single biggest factor in my success. I will explain in this article the major points of everything I went through to reach my current fitness level. My hope is that my story will inspire you to not give up and make you realize that perseverance is the most important part of any fitness strategy. By the way, I can currently bench press 320 pounds, I have a six pack and I only weigh 160 pounds. I will also explain a method for getting in shape that is available today for you to use called personal training online. Personal training online is a very effective and convenient form of personal training. Personal training online also fits just about any budget.

Reaching your fitness goals isn"t always easy depending on the sort of shape you are in when you first start and the kind of goals you have. When I first started trying to get in shape I wasn"t quite obese but I was relatively overweight which I somehow didn"t even realize until someone pointed it out to me. At that point I started to develop my first fitness goal which was simply to lose some weight and get a flatter stomach. I was very young at this point in my life and was actually a young teenager so the first source for advice I went to was my parents. Keep in mind this was before dieting was a big focus of the general media so the approach to losing weight was really simple. The advice my parents gave me was to exercise and cut out all carbohydrates. This was a very difficult way of losing weight and if I had to do it all over I would take a completely different approach but since I didn"t know any better at the time that is what I did. Since I was so young at the time I lost a lot of weight in only about a month or two. I still remember when I first realized I had been losing weight. I actually wasn"t in the habit of using a scale to weigh myself so when I realized I was losing weight it was when I started to see my abdominal muscles in the mirror. I was very excited on that glorious day and couldn"t believe I actually got a six pack because that wasn"t a goal I had at all. After I lost weight I started to develop a second goal which was to gain a lot of muscle mass and strength. This was a goal that would take me many years to reach and would require a great deal of learning. As I learned more about building muscle I would gain a lot of strength and I got to the point where I was stronger than most people but I wasn"t satisfied. I want to be so muscular my sleeves would stretch and people would immediately notice. It would take me years to get to this point because I eventually reached a plateau in my gains that would take me roughly five years to get past. During those five years I was beginning to think I had reached my genetic limit and would never get any stronger. I had tried every kind of workout routine to no avail. Finally I started to wonder if the issue was my diet. I thought even though I was eating a lot already, maybe I needed to eat a little more. I increased the amount of protein I ate and about 1 month later I blew past my plateau. I couldn"t believe that was the solution but I finally ended that five year long plateau. The take home here is that I never gave up even when I had my doubts but I got over that hump.

Personal training online was something that would have definitely helped me because I couldn"t pay for personal training since that would have cost so much. Personal training online also really didn"t exist in the form it does today. Luckily for you, you can take advantage of personal training online and appreciate its effectiveness and convenience.
