Welcome to final part of this web course. Each part reveals a new technique on how to build consistency into your exercise routine and turn that once hated event into a consistent pleasure where you reap the benefits. Say good bye to punishment, frustration, and feelings of being overwhelmed and say hello to your new life.
The final article! You made it and you have come long way. From the previous 4 articles, you learned: The importance of having a clear target
The power of why and how it will get you going
How to break down large goals into measurable steps
Building a system to guarantee you stay on the right path and continue to make progress
So what could be left? Well as we said before, if you haven’t gone through articles 1 – 4, please do that before continuing. You can get them for free by following the link at the end of this article.
This final step could actually be used by itself without the groundwork developed in the previous articles. It is so powerful that this can get you to follow through on stuff that you don’t enjoy and is not to your benefit. Now this is clearly counter to what we have said in the start of every article:
"Say good bye to punishment, frustration and feeling overwhelmed."
Luckily, we have laid the ground work in the first 4 articles so you will be able to apply this technique to what you want, instead of something you don’t want. If you haven’t downloaded the full course that has all the articles with bonus material to help you through the articles, we definitely recommend it. It’s free and the link is at the bottom of this article.
What is this super power that can be the turbo charger to your dreams or spell certain disaster? In a word, it is accountability. It might not sound sexy, but if used correctly, it will give you the power to push through to the finish line.
Now accountability is generally wrapped up in a cloak of bad feelings. Normally it is brought up as means to:
Tell you have done something wrong
It was your fault
You should feel bad about it
With those associations to accountability who would like the word.
The key here is that you generally get more done if someone is watching. Being accountable does work, but it is just normally not pleasant. So why don’t we just dump it altogether? Here is the catch. There is always "something" holding you accountable, especially when it comes to fitness goals.
It might sit in the background for a time, but it is always watching. To put it simply, you DO NOT want this "something" to be the thing that holds you accountable. If you haven’t guessed, that "something" is your body.
Nothing gets by it. It knows everything you ate, how much you ate, every workout that you did and exactly how hard you did that workout.
You can not lie to it and it records everything.
You can tell yourself that you feel fine for a time, but push comes to shove, it holds all the cards.
Have you every gotten really sick and told your body that this is just not a good time, maybe later? How about waking up in the morning and saying "Hey wait a minute, 20 extra pounds is too much! Let’s just make it 5 extra pounds." It doesn’t work that way does it?
By setting up a system of accountability with your friends, to keep you accountable to the fitness goals you want, you are using accountability in a smart way. Now that extra spark of energy that got you to do the tasks you didn’t care about can be directed towards the tasks you do care about.
We all have times when we don’t want to go the gym, or stick to our food plan, etc, and those are the times when accountability is critical. Messing up by missing once is not the problem.
It’s missing once, then twice, then three times, and then feeling bad and then quitting, that is the real problem. By setting up a system of outside accountability, you will insulate yourself from one mistake snowballing into complete failure.
You have made it to the end of this part 5 series. We highly recommend getting the full course, which has a lot of added explanation. It’s free and allows us to go into much more detail. Either way, make sure you start today and setup your system of accountability. Great job and great luck with all of your fitness goals.
