4 Steps

Persistence is essential for success in anything in life. So it's no different for fitness.

Napolean Hill had fout simple steps for developing persistence. I'm going to list them for you today.

1. A definite purpose backed by burning desire for its fulfillment.

2. A definite plan, expressed in continuous action.

3. A mind closed tightly against all negative suggestion of relatives, friends and acquaintances.

4. A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.

Over the next few days I am going to talk a little deeper on each of these steps and how to incorporate them into your fitness regime.

Step one is the most important. Have a burning desire to be fit. It must be so intense that you cannot imagine life without it's fulfillment. That is the only way anything big gets done.

Find you fitness purpose and back it with burning desire. It could be as simple as just keeping your weight down. Or perhaps you want to excel in a particular sport or activity. Whatever it is for you, find it, and back it with that desire.

Train smart,
