Don't Miss the Forest For the Trees


Continuing from our previous post on Goal Setting, the next landmark along the course of action is to focus your efforts.  Fundamentally this becomes a decision between supporting your purpose (you should probably make a habit of these choices) and not supporting your purpose (I would advise against these options).  It is easy to be distracted by the plethora of information, or mis-information, opinions, gadgets, and saturated offerings that plague the fitness industry.  Always relating back to your purpose establishes a good BS filter to keep you on-target.  A great strength coach, like the highly-skilled experts and shameless self-promoters at Synergy AP, enters at this stage in the game.  We provide our best recommendations to help you efficiently navigate what will maximize your results in the least amount of time.  We advise on nutrition, activity, and behavior choices to help you sift through the areas in your life that could impact your improvement.  But it is not just about working smarter, you will also need to work hard to effectively squeeze all the juice from your intelligent choices.  Will Rogers more succinctly states, "plans get you into things but you must work your way out".  Just be sure that the choices you make and the efforts you endure are driving you closer to your goal and not derailing your progress.
