1. Change your diet
One thing that a lot people struggle with is nutrition. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain weight, get ripped, or otherwise change your body image, more often than not, your diet program needs to be assessed. Respectively, Intermittent Fasting is my go to nutrition protocol. IF can help improve digestion, nutrient absorbtion, weight loss, and muscle-building, but the effectiveness is unique to each individual.

2. Stick to a program
Often times when deciding where to go next with a fitness program, it can be difficult to decide what to do on each day. Chest and biceps, back and legs, total body, there are so many options of “splits,” or how to divide up your training to see the best results. Often times decisions are made haphazardly and without any real plan in mind. One of the best ways to hold yourself accountable is to start a program and stick with it for at least 6 weeks.
3. Hire a trainer
A trainer can be a fitness enthusiast’s greatest ally. It’s another set of eyes to remind you of exercise form, a boost extra motivation and an educated brain that can design your program for you and make sure you reach your goals. Also, when paying someone for a time slot, it helps hold you accountable.
4. Sign up for an event
Having a deadline for a fitness goal is a great way to keep up the intensity of training and motivate yourself to get to the gym each day. Sign up for a running event, obstacle races or book a beach vacation.
5. Take up a new challenge
Taking up a new physical activity can be a great way to increase the intensity of any fitness regimen. Adding a day or two of Dance or MMA skill-based exercise can help shed those last two pounds and reignite motivation. Take one look at an athletic body and it’s easy to see athletic movement can really supplement a strength training regimen in many ways.
