Fitness goals come in all shapes and sizes, pun intended. Some of us want to (bulk) put on some muscle mass which comes with some fat gain many times. Then many of us would like to lean out, lose a nice amount of fat but maintain our muscle and give our figure some added curves and peaks. Those kind of peaks that make someone want to peek. Then there’s those who who would like to lose a certain amount of weight in a short period of time to meet a requirement such as a movie role, modeling shoot, or fitness competition among other things.
Furthermore, time can be a huge determining factor on the best way to approach many of the aforementioned goals. Longer timed goals (such as losing or gaining 10 pounds over the course of a year) allow a more gradual approach which will allow more leeway; and in my opinion makes your journey more enjoyable. That same goal over the course of a shorter time (3 months) with require a more drastic and aggressive approach; which is achievable but may be less enjoyable. There is a time when both these approaches are valuable, and deciding which one fits your need is key.
In closing, figuring out our fitness goal and the time we would like to achieve it is a great first step in achieving our goals. Feel free to comment and ask questions here on the blog. I will be more than happy to assist you.
