There are three ways that people
go wrong when setting their fitness goals for the following year:
1. Expecting a dramatic transformation in a short period of time – gaining muscle and improving your fitness skills takes consistency. It’s unlikely you’ll see much difference in the mirror after your first couple of gym sessions, but sticking to a fitness plan will give lasting results in time.
2. Setting unrealistic goals – if you’re new to the gym, it might be unrealistic to adopt a fitness regime that means you’re at the gym seven days a week. Start with something manageable that can be built upon over time and remember that rest and recovery play an essential role in developing and maintaining muscle mass.
3. Unspecific goals – choosing a specific goal can help you to remain motivated. Whether it’s to complete a 5k in less than 20 minutes by June, bench press 100kg by April or get your Hyrox time down to 1 hour, you can easily measure your progress if you have a tangible goal.
