To Get Best Muscle Growth: Set Regular Goals
When you make the decision to change your body it is important to know at the outset what direction you want to take and how likely it is that you will reach your objective. It’s quite likely that you have an idea of what you want your body to look like and how much fat you want, or perhaps the weight you want to be. But you will experience times when attaining your goal seems almost impossible and that you are not really progressing at all. People around you can also contribute to this feeling by saying something that makes you feel like you are failing. But the fact of the matter is that there will be results with any work that you do. The best way to be able to track how far you are getting is to set goals for yourself.
Setting goals is incredibly important. The first thing, is to sit down and ask yourself what it is that you want to accomplish and write down everything you can think of. Be as detailed as possible. With any goal setting you do, you need to do it the S.M.A.R.T way. It has to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely (done within a certain time frame). Get a journal and write everything in it. Put your goals somewhere that you can look at them all the time.
Long-term goals need to be specific, because the more specific they are the easier it will be for you to focus on each one. You need to determine what weight you would like to be. Do you want to build muscles and, if so, which muscle groups do you wish to target? Perhaps you are looking at changing your waist size, or you wish to alter your body fat percentage once you know what it is. The trick is to be specific and focus on your long-term goals first.
They also need to be goals that you can measure. Getting a smaller waistline or bigger biceps is good but try to have a number in mind that you would like to get to. Be ready and have a scale and a tape measure handy to chart your improvements. You will know you have reached your goal when you have reached those measurements.
One of the most frustrating things in life is realizing that you are unable to reach the goal you set for yourself because you set the bar to high. It is vitally important that the goals you set are truly attainable and realistic. Having big ideas is a good thing and you should have them in order to push yourself, but they must not be unrealistic. Setting impossible goals will demotivate you. The time frame you set for yourself to attain your goals must also be realistic. Therefore, record all of this in your journal.
It is important that you visualize what you want your end result to be. For instance, it will help you to display a photo of yourself where you can see it if you are trying to get back to the way you used to look. The same idea can be used if you are trying to look like someone else, or like a group of people. Whatever motivation you have for wanting to make these changes will greatly assist you if you are able to see it. By being constantly confronted by whatever is your motivating factor will help you to remember why you have decided to the changes you wish to make.
Now that you have successfully determined what your long-term goals are you can turn your attention to setting and achieving your short-term goals. By breaking down the long-term goals into smaller bite-size pieces, you will find that they are easier to achieve and less daunting. When it comes to achieving long-term goals the saying about the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time is most certainly true! As mentioned before, use the S.M.A.R.T method when you set your short-term goals that you wish to achieve each week. Decide what you intend doing for that week toward attaining your long-term goals. If aerobics, decide how much time you will devote to it. Decde how many and on which days of the week you will be focusing on muscle training. Keeping all this written in your journal will help you to stay the course.
This is an adventure that you are entirely in control of. You are the one who decides what the end result will be and the way you will achieve that result. On this journey to a healthier and fitter you, all you need to do is set good, attainable and realistic short and long-term goals. Do not believe that it is impossible. Believe that you can, because once you do, you will be at the starting point and on your way to your objective.
