Health & Fitness Tip: Progress vs. Perfection

August 6th, 2016

This week we are reminding you to seek progress versus perfection in your fitness goals. Perhaps you’re trying to drop weight, reduce your body fat %, improve your speed or increase your flexibility. All are very good goals at any level of training. Seek positive progress versus expecting perfection. Anyone that seeks perfection is rarely going to find it and will usually be unhappy with their results. Striving for excellence and celebrating excellent results is different. You may drop 5 lbs of fat, increase your muscle mass and see better tone in your body…that’s excellent. It may not be perfect, but it is progress in the right direction. Celebrate it. You may see a 10% improvement in your flexibility and greater speed in your kicking skills because of it. That’s excellent. Celebrate it. Again, it may not be the perfect splits you want, but you are closer to it. This is the idea behind this week’s tip: Recognize and reward positive progress versus seeking perfection.
