Before discussing Fitness Goal Secrets, let me ask you something:

Have you ever find yourself wandering aroundaimlessly?

You're doing stuff. You know what your goal is, butyou're still not getting anywhere near your target.

How can that be?

I know what I want. I'm doing the things I need todo to get me there. So what's wrong? Why is mygoal still out of reach?

Discover how to bring your goals within your graspthrough these fitness goal secrets --

Goals are a funny thing that many people disagreewith. Maybe some people don't see a point inhaving a goal. Maybe they've set goals before andthey didn't pan out. Maybe setting a goal givesthem the impression that just by doing so, you'llsucceed... whereas they realize that this isn't thecase.

As far as a lot of people are concerned, it doesn'twork! They don't realise what their fitness goalsecrets are.

And do you know what?

They're right!

The thing is -- they're wrong too:-)

Your Fitness Goal Secrets, or deciding what you'regoal should be, is through feelings. All too often,we feel with our heads.

Impossible, right?

Your goal should come from your heart, no matterhow impossible it me seem, and not your head.Yes, you should use your head too. But only to helpyou work out the particulars of how to get there.This is a major key in realizing your fitness goals.

Your Fitness Goal Secrets Revealed:If you can't feel the emotions running wild at thethought of achieving your goal, then that goal isn'tright for you! Don't think logically about you goal inthe first place. What is it you want?

What get your heart racing, your blood boiling,keeps you awake at night and makes your palmssweaty... at the mere thoughts of achievingsomething? That is one of the key fitness goalsecrets.

Is it to build muscle beyond your wildest dreams?

Maybe you want to run a marathon, but never ranmore that a couple of miles straight. Maybe it's tomake money to get you out of your debts. Or couldit be getting a degree, even though you're not thestudious type?

That's what you want in your heart... a feeling thattells you that you must follow it, even though itseems impossible. This is where the head usuallyinterferes.

The head usually tells you that YOU could neverachieve that muscle. It tells you that YOU can nevercomplete a marathon... it's impossible. It tells youthat people like YOU will never make money... it'snot meant to be. It tells you that YOU'RE not cleverenough to ever reach any academic goal.

Essentially, it tells you lies.

Your decisions are based on your experiencesthroughout your life. All experiences, good andbad, are deposited into you're mind's banks. Whenyou come across a situation that seems familiar, orrelative to a past experience, you mind tells you --

"Watch Out!".

Then it concocts stories that are designed tofrighten or unnerve you. So you decide --

"this isn't for me!"

And Quit -- before you even start.

Recognize when that little voice in your head tellsyou that this isn't right for you. Tell that voice --"Thanks for your input pal, but no thanks." This isan important part of your fitness goal secrets.

Once you have chosen your goal, and you feelexcited, you have another two-step to do in thisprocess. These are vital steps and are the verysteps that most people leave out.

Step 1 -A Decisive Goal.

Yep, you thought you had your ideal goal in mind.and yet you did. But you need to make it clear. Forexample:

If you want a new sports car, but you don't knowwhat make or model you want, what will happen?

Sure, you'll get your car. But chances are, you getany old car.

How can this be?

There are millions of cars out there. There aremore ordinary cars, than sports cars. So thechances are that you'll end up with an ordinary carbecause your goal wasn't clear. Your ordinary carmay have a spoiler on it and a set of sports wheels.But it's still an ordinary car.

How do you get your sports car, if that is your goal?

Details!

Ok, so you want a sports car. What type? Whatmake and model? What year should it be. Whatsize engine should it have? What color should itbe? How should it sound? What mileage isacceptable on the clock? Should it be new orused? By what exact date do you want to own thiscar by?

Details, details, details.

So you want bigger muscle. Is it your biceps? Ordo you want bigger muscle in your legs, chest,back, triceps, etc.? Exactly how much bigger doyou want to be? How well defined do you wantyour muscle to be. When do you want to haveachieved this goal by?

The same principle applies to any goal, even if it'sto become world champion at tiddlywinks.

Step 2 -A Clear Goal.

Now that you have chosen your goal, in step oneabove, it's time to make it clear in your mind. Yes Iknow I said that you shouldn't let your head ruleyour heart. But what you should do is follow yourpassion and desires. Then use your head tologically bring about those desires, even though itmay be battling with you.

In your mind I want you to see your goal as exactlyas you want it, with all the glorious detail. At thesame time I want your emotions to run wild. Feelwhat it would be like to achieve this goal. Wouldyou feel on top of the world? Are you on a high justthinking about it?

As you feel it, keep looking at it in your mind's eye.Combine the power of both thought and emotionto feed your desire. The more you feed your desire,the closer to you goal you will get... provided youfollow that with action.

Do this on a daily basis. Certainly first thing eachmorning and last thing at night. And numeroustimes in between where you can. It can be doneanywhere.

Who's going to know?

To summarize, decide what your goal is. Notthrough your head, but with your heart. Emotion isthe key. Make your goal as detailed as possible.The ore detail there is, the better. Now see it inyour mind. It must be a clear goal. Combining thepower of emotion and the emotion of desire, youwill be fired up to take the appropriate action to getyou there.
