At least half of the people who try to get fit and thinner give up after less than a
month. Many people blame their failure on lack of time, but lack of willpower is highly
important too. Much of this is because we set unrealistic fitness goals – a flat stomach
in a month and a diet like super models, instead of trying a long-term plan to do exercise
a bit more and eat a bit less every day. Most fitness clubs get a great number of new
members from January to March every year, but their use of the gym often declines
after that.
So how to avoid giving up? First, you should believe in yourself, even if you have
failed before. Second, you should choose the activity that really interests you. Many
people believe that they need to join expensive fitness programmes, but it is not true.
