One Percent at a Time

Visions are either growing or dying. One great way to commit “vision suicide” is to try to be everything, do everything, or attain everything all at once.

Instead of trying to swallow your fitness goals whole, take steps to achieve them over time by improving by just one percent per week.

Sound like too little? A little bit over time can make a big difference in the long road.

Here’s the secret: consistency. At first one percent may seem small… but over time, with consistent improvement one percent can be the difference which keeps you on track and moving steadily towards your goals.

Look at it this way; a one percent increase compounded weekly will accumulate to well over 50% in the course of a year. Wouldn’t it be nice to be 50% stronger, faster, or leaner?

Take the one percent challenge. Go 1% slower on all of your exercises and feel the burn a bit more. Eat 1% healthier by reaching for the apple over the candy bar just 1% more often. Be 1% more consistent, timely and focused during your training. Improve by 1% each week and reap the rewards tomorrow.

Keep the consistency… keep the vision alive.
