When we begin our journey in the fitness world, the first step is to consider what we want to achieve. This is a really important point. It is essencial to think for yourself about what you want and not give to others the responsibility to make that decision for you.

Why? Because when you set your own goals, you have a bigger chance of sticking to them.

🎯 Why Goals Matter

When you have your own goals, you appreciate every battle won.

For example:

• If you are underweight, you may decide to increase your body shape by gaining some centimeters in your chest, shoulders, and legs. Being realistic, you could say: I will achieve 3 cm (1 inch) on each in three months. That becomes your short-term goal.
• If you are overweight, the opposite approach works. Reducing 3 cm (1 inch) from your waist in 3 months can be a great and realistic short-term goal.

These small but clear steps are what keep you motivated.

🗝️ The Keyword: Discipline

All of this will be part of a strong engagement to measure our discipline. But this is not all. Here we arrive at a keyword that is really important. Can you guess it? Yes… DISCIPLINE.

We must accept:

• We don’t have the genetics of Ronnie Coleman.
• We are not Cbum.
• We are far from Jen Cassetty.

But our next move is still in our control: discipline.

Why do I insist on this? Because discipline is one of the cheapest, most valuable, strongest, and most available skills we can develop in our life.

🔑 What Comes Next

Let’s immerse our knowledge in understanding what discipline and consistency really mean in our process of changing our lives. Let’s take the chance to control our future, because all of this will be part of us for the rest of our lives.

See you in the next post 💪, where we will keep talking about discipline and how we can incorporate it step by step into our daily routine.
