Attacking health and fitness goals is a lot like going on a long road trip to an exotic new location. You pick your destination and then you go, right? Simple as that! Well, first you need to fuel up. Maybe make sure your oil is topped up and that your tires are inflated. But what if your transmission is struggling? What if the clutch is wearing? How’s the suspension? Do you even know how to drive standard? Oh, and don’t forget that you need coffee, and you’ve got to pick up water and supplies. Can’t forget your license and passport, either. Now, what route will you take? The highway, toll road, back roads? What if there’s an accident? Or construction? What about the weather? The truth is, you can pick your destination but there are thousands of variables that can shape your path and the time it will take you to arrive. Ignoring important details or taking risky shortcuts doesn’t mean you’ll save time or get there any quicker; as a matter of fact, doing these things will almost always result in getting lost and can prevent you from ever reaching your ultimate destination. This is a random analogy, but this is exactly how I see far too many people approach health and fitness.
