MOXIE FITNESS & WELLNESS SUCCESS TIPS
TIP 2 – MATCH YOUR BEHAVIORS AND YOUR GOALS.
Another pitfall I encourage you to avoid is the problem of not matching up your behaviors and goals.
People fall short in this area all the time. A guy wants to lose 100 pounds. He joins the gym and exercises two times per week. He completely ignores proper eating habits. His goals: massive, life changing weight loss. His behaviors: small, inconsequential lifestyle change. The behaviors don't match the goal, so how can he possibly succeed?
In life, it's easy to set lofty goals. You want to lose 100 pounds of fat, gain 50 pounds of muscle, earn $120,000 per year and meet and marry a beautiful spouse. But those things aren't going to come to us simply because we want them and think about them all the time. They only come to us when we engage in the right behaviors, when we match our behaviors and our goals.
With respect to fitness and nutrition, if you follow the Moxie Fitness & Wellness Principles 90% of the time, you will see the results you're looking for. However, it's not enough just to think about the goal. You have to do the math. If you are eating four meals and snacks per day over the course of seven days per week you should be following the Moxie Nutrition Principles for about 25 of your 28 meals.
When it comes to exercise, if it's recommended that you exercise five to six times each week, that means you'll do your best to stay active and skip only a few workouts a month. (Check out our blog post: How Much Physical Activity Is Enough?)
If the goal is changing your body in the fastest possible time frame, yet you are only following the Moxie Nutrition Principles for 14 out of 28 meals per week and only getting in 6-8 exercise sessions per per month, you are not exactly matching your goals with your behaviors.
Be honest with yourself as you are following the Moxie Fitness & Wellness program. Ask yourself regularly if your goals and behaviors are matching. If so, keep going. If not, then adjust something. Either bring your behaviors up to match your lofty goals so that your behaviors reflect a big commitment or bring your goals down to match your moderate commitment. Either approach is just fine as long as your behaviors match your goals.
Of course, in the beginning, you may not exactly know which behaviors should be in place to match your goals. That's what Moxie Fitness & Wellness Coaching is here for.
