One of the most prevalent and pervasive issues in fitness is short-sightedness. All too many trainees view fitness as an end, not an ongoing process. The logic is thus: “If I just work hard for a little while, THEN I’ll be in shape.” This is a short term goal, viewed as a destination instead of a continuing journey, as opposed to a series of long-term goals. The unfortunate truth (for those looking for a shortcut, at least) is that fitness/strength/improved body composition is not something that can be simply acquired once and for all. It requires dedication, continual progression and variation in order to be maintained. Whether your goal is aesthetic or practical in aim, you must constantly progress and push yourself – even if you do reach your goal once, you can’t stop there – not because I make my living helping people reach their goals and I’m telling you that to keep you coming back, but because fitness is lost rapidly once training has ceased. Furthermore, what may have worked once is unlikely to work again with similar loading and progression – why?
