Hello Reader,
This is the second lesson of our course. We're going to go into a lot
more detail today. The best place to start is right from the day
you decide to start bodybuilding.
As always, this information is provided in the Iron Dolls bodybuilding book. It comes in much more detail, more examples and a plan. If you're interested in that book, Click here.
Goal Setting
You're going to have to learn to decide what you want. Goal setting
is required to meet goals. Most people just wonder around and don't
have any direction. It is estimated that over 97% of people don't
have goals for their own lives, but they have shopping lists for
the grocery store.
Having a goal is important because it gives you a point to look at
it. You know which direction you need to go. A rule that comes
along with goal setting is that you need to use numbers and dates.
This is so you can measure your results and push yourself to meet
deadlines.
Sit down and write out what you want from a female bodybuilding
point of view. Remember to use numbers and dates. For example, "I
want to be 140lbs at 15 percent body fat by September." The point
is that you can get on the scale and measure yourself to be 140lbs,
you can get a caliper out and measure your 15 precent body fat and
you can look at the calendar to make sure you make it in time.
How much are you going to give?
This is the second part. You have your goal now, but it's going to
require work. Often people will have all these great
goals(especially in weightloss), but they're not willing to invest
the time and dedication to it.
You're going to write down what you're willing to give for this
goal. It can be as simple as "I will dedicate one hour a day for
the gym and the necessary time to prepare and plan the diet
required to meet my goal."
Make sure that's what you're really willing to give. Sometimes you
don't feel like going to the gym after a hard day at work.
Sometimes you want to spend time with kids and family. It's really
your choice to determine it. Try to give yourself what is required.
Now that we got some of the paperwork part of this process done, we
can move onto more important stuff.
