No one ever dreams of being "almost in shape," so it's no surprise that so many new clients come to us with goals of being super-fit, having six-pack abs, losing 20 pounds, and so on. And really, there's nothing wrong with that... as long as you're planning it for the long-term.

 

In the short-term, though, you can actually do yourself a lot of favors by lowering the bar a bit.

 

You see, as great as ambition is, it can actually kill off your fitness plan in a hurry. That's because starting off too quickly, especially if you aren't currently working out all that much, can cause damage to your mind and body.
