You’ve been working out regularly for quite a while, but you’re nowhere near your fitness goals. So now it’s time to bring in your ultimate weapon, your mind.
    You can try as the following tells you.
    Define your goals. Whether it’s to lose fat and gain muscle or to run a triathlon, it’s vital to have a goal to work toward. Knowing where you’re going makes it easier to take the right steps.
    Get realistic. Training gains are met through consistent effort over a period of time. Don’t expect dramatic, overnight results regardless of what exercise equipment ads claim. Reward yourself for ail the little positive steps you take and for consistently striving forward.
    Be yourself. Work toward a goal that you can achieve with your body. Don’t try to change your basic shape or to go against your own unique physical capabilities. Take an objective look at yourself, then work toward enhancing what you’ve got rather than trying to attain someone else’s body.
    Do your research. If you are not making progress, ask a qualified personal trainer to analyze your routine and your goals. Read health and fitness magazines. There’s tons of great fitness information out there to fit you.
    Identify your weaknesses, then use your brain to outsmart them. Many people avoid their weak points or bad habits, instead, take them up as clues to how you can improve. Keep a food and fitness journal for a month. Then analyze it for negative patterns. If you always overeat late at night, try going to a late night movie to get your mind off food.
