KEYS TO SUCCESS
The key to success when using ENH will be consistency.
- The more consistent you are, the sooner you will reach your fitness goals.
- Get into the habit of tracking your workouts and meals, even if it’s only a few times a week.
- Being consistent with your tracking will get easier as you do it more.
As you progress in your journey to better health, you’ll find that tracking your exercise activities and meal plans will help keep you accountable. This will become more important than just setting goals.
BASIC STEPS WITH SETTING GOALS
The key to success when using ENH will be consistency.
- Establish a Plan – If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! Therefore, having a plan in place help you determine how well you’re progressing, as well as pointing out where you may be falling short.
- Set realistic, attainable goals – Start easy by asking yourself what you’d like to achieve in 30 days; e.g. drop 2 dress sizes…reduce caloric intake by 500 calories per day…increase strength by 10% …reduce aches and pains…etc.
- Make small changes at a time – 3.It is not necessary to jump into this with an “All or Nothing” attitude. Start by substituting one or two food items. Begin exercising with a basic routine just twice a week. Try getting to bed 30 minutes sooner.
- TRACK YOUR EXERCISE AND FOODS! – 4.This can’t be emphasized enough. After all, this is the reason why most of our members joined ENH, as we offer you all the tools you need to do exactly that. Then you will see your tracked activity take you closer to your goals.
If you haven’t already, complete your personal profile by filling in all the pertinent information, then you will know what your baseline profile is. Only then will you be able to monitor your progress. Then as you track your eating habits, you’ll see if you’re staying on track or see where you need to improve. With exercising, you’ll see how much your strength is increasing and how your body composition is changing.
