Pivot Point Fitness: Your own fitness journey
Share
I’m often asked, “What is your plan? I want to do what you do”. I always respond “No, that won’t help you”.
It’s easy to look at fitness influencers and want to copy their routines to achieve the same results. But simply copying someone else’s fitness journey may not lead to long-term success.
My top 5 reasons why clarifying personal goals is key to your fitness journey, rather than just following someone else’s path:
1. Your body is unique: Everyone’s body is different, and what works for someone else may not work for you. Setting personal goals based on your body type, fitness level, and overall health can help you create a customized plan that will help you reach your goals safely and effectively.
2. Personalized motivation: When you set personal goals, you’re more likely to stay motivated. These goals give you a reason to push yourself, and you can create mini-goals along the way to help you stay on track and motivated.
3. Personalized progress tracking: Tracking progress is crucial to a successful fitness journey, but when you’re only following someone else’s path, it can be difficult to see your own progress. Setting personal goals allows you to track your progress in a way that’s meaningful to you and can help keep you motivated.
4. Avoid injury: Following someone else’s fitness routine may not be the best idea for your body, and it could lead to injury. By setting personal goals, you can create a workout plan that works for your body and reduces the risk of injury.
5. Enjoyment and fulfillment: When you’re only copying someone else’s fitness journey, you may not enjoy the process as much. But by setting personal goals, you can create a workout plan that includes activities you enjoy, making your fitness journey more fulfilling and enjoyable.
While it’s tempting to copy someone else’s fitness journey, setting personal goals is key to long-term success. Need help to develop a customized plan? Download my App, link in bio, and join the community! Need additional 1:1 support? DM me and start your personalized plan!
