经过迈克尔·克鲁格
Most people have a dream of some sort. When it comes to fitness, the dream of being strong and ripped or lean and fast is quite common. The problem is that few people are really willing to work for their dream. By that I mean watching your diet; sleeping enough; working out smart, intensely, and consistently; and, most of all, giving up what you want now for what you want most.
无论您的梦想是要健康，健康，还是成为运动员或精英专业消防员，有时候您必须决定是否愿意做些事，使自己的梦想成为现实 - 那时是今天。
Proving Yourself
因此，我经常听到模糊的理由开始运动方案。有时候，这是“在医生的命令下”，尽管很少有医生推动对患者进行运动的需求（开药要比开具运动要容易得多）。其他时候，这是因为配偶对自己的体重发表了微妙或不太微妙的评论。在其他时候，这是因为他们对他们看到的形象感到震惊，从镜子里凝视着。然后，由于老化，容量减弱的幽灵越来越低。他们注意到自己越来越虚弱，柔软和柔软，上次上楼梯时，需要在顶部休息。
一旦你通过所有的合理化和降低outside pressures, the only reason that matters is that you want it for yourself. Living the fitness lifestyle is a lot of work. It’s hard, and it’s a lifelong commitment so it’s not to be undertaken lightly. If you try doing it for any reason other than because you really want it for you, you will more than likely fail. In this case, selfishness is the only sure course to success. Many people in your life will get ancillary benefits, but that is incidental to your prime reason: because you want it.
As you embark on you fitness quest, it’s important to understand that nothing anyone else in your life can do or say will make or break you. You will get encouragement from some folks and flak from others, neither of which can mean anything to you, because if one does then so does the other and you have no room in your life for negativity. You must accept that everything you do and think will affect your results, but it’s only whatyoudo and think that matters. It’s up to you to decide on your goals, your program, how you exercise, what you eat, when you sleep, what you think–you are ultimately defining what is important to you; you are choosing howyou将过着你的生活。
训练时从来没有过轻松的一天，如果您要控制并创造自己想要的生活，您将不得不接受一些事实。您得到的越强，您就越能做到。您吃的清洁剂，您会越瘦，更健康，但面对方便的糖，盐和碳水化合物培养的培养，保持干净的饮食越困难。您变得越纪律，越苛刻和毫无根据的批评将成为您的批评，诸如痴迷，强迫性，烦人，疯狂和失控的词都与您的行为有关。
Personal fitness is a demanding taskmaster, since everything falls back on you. There is no one to blame, no one to delegate to, no one to pick up the slack; it’s all on you. Whenever I have clients who have poor or missed workouts or have messed up on their nutrition, I simply ask them one question: “What happened?” More often than not, I will hear about all the circumstances that conspired against them. There was the holiday party, the wedding, the treats someone brought in, and the gift card to Krispy Kreme that derailed their diet. There was the cold weather, the late night with friends, or the morning after headache that prevented them from working out. It is rare that they just take responsibility, say “No excuse,” and pick up the pieces and get back to it.
You know when you are living true to yourself and working diligently toward your chosen goals and when you aren’t. It’s very hard to convincingly lie to yourself, since you know yourself and your personal set of rationalizations all too well. It’s particularly tough to rationalize your behavior as you lie awake in bed at three o’clock in the morning staring at the ceiling with the room swirling, your head pounding, and your stomach doing flip-flops from the copious quantities of booze, burgers, and deep-fried cheese curds and onion rings you consumed while out partying with friends instead of heading home early and sticking with your diet and exercise program (which you claim is so important to you).
Simply going through the motions during your workouts is a sure way to show you aren’t fully invested in your dream. Not applying full effort to your training does more than just derail your progress. Slacking off during workouts undermines your resolve and allows thoughts of failure to achieve a solid inroad. Poor performance because of lack of concentration and focus creates a mental laxity that soon leads to missed workouts, poor eating habits, and poor excuses. Success is all about discipline and consistent effort; remember, “As you do one thing, so you do all things.”
如果您落后于训练或开始做出不良的饭菜选择，那么除了您的行为外，没有人会遭受您的行为。您可以通过可以想象的所有借口合理化，但是您知道失败的真正原因。有时，在这一点上，最好对自己诚实，并接受您不希望它像您想要在训练中梦游，熬夜，并吃炸薯条和冰淇淋那样多。从您的教练的角度来看，您错过的锻炼和不良的饮食行为不会让我在晚上保持起床，尽管我承认感到失望和有些难过。
Understand that any transgression with regard to your diet and training is going to slow your progress. Missing your scheduled training or eating poorly will just make the next workout (if you even do it) harder. Giving in and taking the easy path will just make the next temptation that much harder to resist, thereby delaying, or even preventing, the attainment of your goals. How you respond to the hard work and discipline is the key to knowing how badly you really want it. If any of these aforementioned distractions are more important to you than the goals you professed to want, then perhaps you don’t really want them after all.
Making It
Success comes from putting off what you want now for what you want most. If you can stay true to your goals in the face of all obstacles simply because you promised yourself that you would, you are on the path to success. When you are comfortable at all times with the choices you make about what you eat, how you train, and how you live, you know you are on the right path.
每天，您都需要向自己证明自己真正想实现自己的梦想……这是您今天采取的行动。
