Chapter 4: How to Make Your Fitness Goals Happen

We’ve seen the basics of how to accomplish your general goals, now it’s time to accomplish specific goals. For this chapter, we’re going to look at fitness and how you’re going to apply the principles we’ve discussed to getting into awesome shape.

So the first thing you need to know is why you want to improve your fitness and what you want that to really look and feel like. Is your goal to get fitter so you can play sports again? Do you want to look awesome for your own satisfaction? Do you want to be powerful so that you feel more physically intimidating? Do you want to be healthier? Or maybe attract members of the opposite sex?

And what is your current situation? What have you tried in the past? Why has it not worked? What is your current shape and size? What are your physical strengths and best attributes? What do you enjoy doing? How much time do you have?

This is all very important because it is going to drastically change the way you go about accomplishing your objectives.

For example, if you are a man and your goal is to be more physically intimidating, then you might decide that it makes the most sense to bulk. This means adding the most mass possible in the shortest amount of time, in order to become a tank. It involves eating a ton of calories and even more protein, resting a lot and lifting heavy weights.

On the other hand, if you want to become toned and lean to attract women, then you are going to want to eat less and get more aerobic exercise such as walking, running, skipping etc.
