When working toward health or fitness goals, it can be difficult to stay motivated, especially when it feels like you’re not making any progress. Erin Mahoney, vice president of education for International Sports Sciences Association, has some advice for getting into shape and holding yourself accountable to your fitness and health goals.
Mahoney said the reason most people don’t follow through on their fitness and health goals is the inability to receive immediate gratification. “You can put on ten pounds over the course of a couple weeks, but getting rid of that ten pounds requires more than double, triple, almost quadruple the amount of time it took you to put it on,” Mahoney said. “And so people don’t see results that they want fast enough and when you don’t get those results fast enough, it’s a lot easier to go back and do what you were doing before.”
