The truth About Exercise Consistency

So, you want to get up every morning and jog, or you want to go to the gym 3 times, 5 times or 6 times a week, or you want to get yourself to be in the pool twice times a week for 2 hours. You've heard or read somewhere that in order to get into shape an maintain it, that you have to have a pretty frequent exercise routine.

Yes, it's true, once you start being in shape, it is because you have a consistent commitment to your workout. However, here is the trap that so many people fall into. Starting from where they are in that moment.
they look where they would like to be in terms of their fitness.
they look at the people that have that.
they look at their standards.
and...
they automatically think that they need to train at the same standards as those people right off the bat.

What these people do not realise is the time and process it took them to reach that level of commitment and dedication to their training.

This is probably the biggest reason why so many quit.
