Why is the word realistic in quotation marks?
Who defines realistic? We do.
Who also defines extraordinary? We will.
So, it is safe to also add that it is a reality that to be successful, you need to have realistic expectations in regards to your improvement and performance curve, while setting the standards high by keeping yourself accountable and pushing yourself to the max. To set realistic goals, some of the challenges are to test your body to limits it can handle while staying motivated.
Think small at first. Your goals should be a process of taking the next logical step to get fitter each day, every week, and consistent months of the training cycle. Concentrate on the steps you need to take to improve each day, as opposed to focusing on the end goal itself. Enjoy the process and how it is relating to your current fitness level. You will hopefully then gain not only patience, but a more focused understanding of the individual systems it takes to build your workout volumes.
Focus on the process, train consistently, stay healthy, and keep moving forward one day, week and month at a time, and remember to have fun.
Part of staying motivated is enjoying what you are doing !
