This may sound simple but its likely that if you wrote the program or aren’t bought into the goals 100% you will have some accountability issues. By this i mean you will be more likely to fail or take unnecessary days off and therefore derail your progress.

A side note here: If you are a trainer or coach i hope you are thinking about how to apply most of what we have already talked about to your people and yourself.

Some simple things to do to keep accountable:
1. Tell somebody you respect that you are going to accomplish your goals and by when.
2. Train with somebody that has similar goals or is on the same program
3. Find a coach (recommended!!)
4. Make a bet with someone that likes to beat you.

Notice how all of these suggestion include some sort of outside influence. I want to believe that everyone has the internal fire burning like they used to in college or high school but lets face the facts, unless someone is depending on us to achieve something then its very easy to let it slip though our fingers and just shrug it off.

Action steps:
Go tell someone what you are going to achieve. Quick suggestion: tell your local barista at the coffee shop and guaranteed they will ask you how its going every time you walk in the door.
Get your happy ass to work!!
