Hey there Auburn / Opelika Fitness Enthusiasts!
Ever wondered why, despite your best efforts, some fitness routines or diet plans just don’t seem to work for you?
It’s a common frustration, and one I’ve spent ~1000 hours over the past decade talking with clients in the Auburn/Opelika area about….
Let’s breakdown what some of these reasons are.
⭐️ “One-Size Fits-All” doesn’t ACTUALLY fit all. Many programs don’t consider individual differences—like metabolism, lifestyle, or preferences. Tailoring your approach to suit your unique needs is crucial.
⭐️ Unrealistic Goals Set You Up for Disappointment. Setting ambitious goals is great, but they need to be achievable. Smaller, incremental goals not only keep you motivated but also celebrate your progress along the way.
⭐️ Underestimating the Power of Consistency. Occasionally skipping the gym or indulging in treats is human, but consistency is key. It’s about what you do most of the time that counts. Think “Can I do this forever?” rather than “Can I do this for the next 2 weeks?”
⭐️ Skipping Rest and Recovery. Rest is just as important as activity. Without it, you risk burnout and injury. Recovery is where the real progress is made, and if you’re always trying to push yourself, your body (and its’ progress) is going to pay the price. Don’t try to workout every day…. aim for 2-3x / week to start.
One last thing… progress isn’t linear. It’s only natural to experience some ebbs & flows in your fitness journey!
Keep moving… Stay moving… Stay healthy!
In good health,
Cam Peavy & The Infinity Team
