Typical situation; customer walks in with fire in their heart to lose weight.  I can feel that energy beaming from their eyes as they sign up for the sessions and can’t wait to start.  Then I ask the big question, “What is your goal”.  Answer; “to fit into my size # pants”.   I think that’s great, but honestly will the idea of me having you do 300 sit ups, jumping jacks, and lunges up and down the floor all after running 1 mile, really worth simply fitting into your pants.  Oh, and lets do that 5 times a week. Actually, just buying larger pants might be a little less expensive when you consider the cost of a trainer and your time.  I’m just saying…
I’m here to tell you how you take that fire of motivation you have and turn it into a scourging bonfire.  Motivation is about a deadline to be ready by, planning on how you will get there, and weekly goals. I’m talking about the deadline that you desire to be in tip top shape by because all of your friends that you haven’t seen in years will be there.  Or how about that wedding; those pictures will be around FOREVER.  Maybe you just threw down a bunch of money to go to Hawaii and want nothing more then to feel comfortable in that swimsuit while your there on the beach.
You see what I’m saying.  Create a time frame, plan your work, and work your plan.  Nothing last forever (except wedding photo’s) so choose to be the best you starting on _______ and ending on  ________.  Sunday, you cook your food for the week from the meal plan your trainer designed for you.  You set your schedule of workouts throughout the week.  Finally, set your WEEKLY goals.  What do you want to see this time next week.  Results are addicting; once you see that body change a little, you want more.

Feel that fire!
