EUGENIZATION.

What’s the most effective method of ensuring that you’ll fail to achieve your fitness goals?

Well, you’re right - by not starting in the first place, i.e., doing nothing.

Touche. You got me there. Ok then, assuming you’re actually doing something, what’s the death knell for results?

A: Not having FOCUS on one thing (which is hopefully the goal you wish to achieve).

I’ve known plenty of people who lost loads of weight on “the wrong program.”

I’ve seen tons of guys get huge by doing “dumb stuff” in the gym.

I’ve personally spoken with top-notch athletes who got to where they are by “eating all wrong, overworking, and doing whatever random exercises their coach drew up for them.”

What separated these individuals from the scads of people who fail is not that they got all the answers right - far from it - but that they all possessed a single-minded desire to achieve their stated goal - their one stated goal.

It’s run a marathon or build 18 inch arms. It’s achieve 5% body fat or win your local tennis organization’s tournament. Not both.

When you try to do too many things at once, a funny thing happens: nothing gets done. Focus on achieving one goal at a time, however, and over time, you will get everything done - one goal at a time.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. What fitness goals are you working to achieve?
2. If you have more than one goal, which one are you working on right now?
3. Are you moving in the right direction?
