When I first meet someone for a consultation, one of these things I say to them is that 25% of my clients will fail at accomplishing their fitness goals.

I try to be up front and honest when I first meet someone. The reason why I say this is to set the expectation that achieving your fitness goals will be hard and challenging.

Some the things that can prevent someone from accomplishing their goals is by having a ton of negative people in their lives and not getting out of your comfort zone by not trying a new workout program because it's too hard.

But if you don't surround yourself around negative people and are willing to get uncomfortable sometimes, you can still set your self up for failure.

Here are 5 ways you can fail:

1) Not Having Enough Variety In Your Workouts:  Doing the same boring workout routines can get very boring. Being bored and not having fun with a workout can make someone quit very quickly. This happens a lot at the beginning of the year when people join the gym. After the first 5 months of the year most people either stop going to the gym or quit their membership altogether.

2) Doing All or Nothing: Exercising for 10 minutes is a lot better than not doing anything at all. If done right a 10 minute workout can be more beneficial than a long and boring 60 minute workout.

3) Setting Unrealistic Goals: Unrealistic goals can lead to dropping out of a program quickly. Instead of setting a 50 pound weight loss goal, set small attainable goals. For example strive for 2 pounds per week and then reward yourself for each small achievement.

4) Falling In The Trap Of Tomorrow: Let's be honest: When you say you're going to get started on a diet or workout program tomorrow, you are just procrastinating. Instead of waiting for tomorrow, start taking baby steps in the right direction with your fitness goals. For example, go for a 10 minute walk, start eating breakfast, or do crunches in between commercials while watching television. Any little thing will help get you in the habit towards exercising more.

5) Not Keeping A Food Journal:  The number one reason why someone will fail at their fitness goals is not keeping a food log. You MUST keep a food journal and figure out how many calories your body is taking in each day. A food diary isn't just for counting calories, it's for accountability.

If you are serious about achieving your fitness goals this year, then take a pen and paper and copy this list. If you can prevent yourself from doing any of these things, then most likely you will accomplish your fitness goals.
