There Are Only TWO Surefire Success Techniques To Make Certain You Hit Your Target Every Time.

If you want to shoot an arrow right into the bulls-eye there are just two infallible methods.  The first is to be a crack-shot.  This needs lots of work, effort, practice, patience, persistence, and talent.  The second technique is to shoot first and then move your target to where the arrow lands.

My sneaky idea is this > Use both methods.

Our governments do it all the time so it must be OK.  Just look at the moving targets for inflation, interest rates, employment or whatever.

How This Killer Technique Will Help You

It doesn’t matter why you exercise.  In fact, all of us usually have more than one aim.  For example, we might want one or more of these:

The killer thing to realise is that moving the target is the killer way to succeed in any or all of these.  The snag is there’s a killer way to fail too.

So, here are a few do’s and don’ts.

How To Kill Success

A real success-killer is to go through your exercise workout in a token or half-hearted manner.  You might think that this is good enough because it’s more than you did before. 

But YOU WILL FAIL with this approach.

Why You Will Fail

Because by doing the same old stuff week after week in a cursory manner you make it into a mere routine.  You make it humdrum.  You then find that first one then another and then all of these will happen:

In other words, sooner or later, the inevitable result is that you abandon your routine because it’s both boring and not working.  Hey presto!  You just failed!

In truth, boredom and lack of success seem to me to be fair reasons to quit.  But not quit as in quit.  Only quit doing it in a way that’s sure to fail.

To put it another way, make sure you workout smarter so you get the results you want.  Otherwise, you’ll be bored out of your pants in no time and end up quitting.

How Do You Workout Smarter?

Easy …

You need to plan ahead just a little.  By this I mean you should list your main aims for your next 3 or 4 workouts over the next week or so.  Do this a week or two in advance.  The Fitnessblasting Manual gives you a great example of this. 

List your targets for your main exercises in a way that each workout-target extends you a little further than the previous one.  Do this for three or four workouts in advance with targets that push you further each time. 

Now, don’t be stupid about this.  Remember, it’s a cinch by the inch - but it’s hard by the yard.  Don’t lose sight of the fact that your aim is to get fit or get healthy or look better (or whatever), not kill yourself.  In any case, no one goes from couch potato to world champ after 4 workouts. 

Bet you knew that, didn’t you?

Beating Your Target

What this method does is to give each workout session a clear purpose, a clear aim, a goal, a target, a destination. 

You are now no longer marking time but on a route to your destination.  This step-by-step approach keeps you moving ahead, making progress and getting better.  This means that you will:

In other words, you are now on the amazing Self-Improvement-Super-Highway as your constant adjustment and readjustment of targets extends you further.

What Does This Do For You?

You’re now working with a method and your method is working for you.  The killer is that the method of moving targets puts the escalation of fitness gains at its core.  It becomes impossible to fail.

In short, it transforms a routine and cursory just-going-through-the-motions type of approach into a process where you really will:

And best of all,

So, keep moving those targets!
