All too often, people will notice summer looming around the corner, and suddenly feel inspired enough to proclaim, their goals. That's the sound of danger music. Because to err is human but when someone's about to do something especially ridiculous, the director queues the danger music. Beginners yoga Orange County CA training goals should be practical, in line with one's long-term health objectives, and, most importantly, achievable. So, no reaching for the 300 pound barbell on your first visit.
It is a bit like enticing an overweight donkey with a carrot your fitness goals being the carrot, and you being the fat ass, pardon, big boned donkey, unless one keeps raising the bar and their fitness ideals are kept just slightly out of reach, seemingly attainable but still outside one's grasp, there's usually little motivation to keep pressing forward towards bigger and better milestones.
Because it takes most people at least 14 days of continuous effort to establish a new habit for themselves. So, lacking the motivation, for whatever reasons, should they become side-tracked from their objectives before reaching the summit of habit, not only are they likely to quit the new activity, but will be much less likely to even attempt similar activities in future.
All too often, people will attempt a workout plan geared toward building muscle mass and, after the first week, will marvel at their newfound muscle definition referred to in fitness circles as newbie gains. But instead of that growth trend continuing into the second week, typically they will notice what appear to be muscle and weight loss instead. Merely indicators of body changing and adjusting its overall composition in response to all the weight it's been pushing around. But by completely misreading the signs, they start losing confidence, and begin doubting the effectiveness of the workout plan.
A split second decision later, and just like the Berlin Wall all banged up and out of shape the vision of their dream physique comes shattering to the ground. But it's of little consequence to them since their old habits, and big-boned donkey ways, are simply too habitually ingrained already.
The simple solution would have been for them to have placed more emphasis on the vision of how they would have benefitted from subjecting themselves to the fire, rather than focusing on the fire itself. Simply put, burning feels bad; but coming out on the other side of the experience, feels good.
Simply visualizing the intended outcome would have inspired enough motivation to overcome, and endure, any temporary discomfort encountered. Keeping one's eye on the prize is simply a means to an end. Professional athletes do it. Navy Seals do it. Successful businessman, do it. Even goddesses of victory like Nike and just do it. So why does not the average person simply do it? The short answer, it requires some discipline. And perhaps only a couple weeks of it before it becomes habit. Easy enough for the superior man, but for the average person, it can be a bit of a chore.
So, the next time that person hits the gym, they get rewarded with a small burst of dopamine one of the brain's feel good neurotransmitters. Eventually, usually after several repetitions, this behavioural pattern becomes etched into the brain's neural pathways forming a new habit. Addictions are formed the same way. And considering how research done at Duke University found that 45 percent of people's day to day actions are the product of habit, as opposed to conscious decision making, pushing through that second week of a workout regimen could mean the difference between still boasting a chiselled 6-pack at sixty, to succumbing to a fatal cardiac arrest at forty. A person only ever reaps what they've sown.
