Going from out of shape to in shape can be very difficult.
Knowing where to begin to lose weight in the sea of overwhelming information out there can be daunting of where to begin.
The fear of getting hurt because of not knowing how to properly lift weights prevents most people from starting all together.
There is a crucial element that can make all the difference in people’s fitness journey.
It can be the difference between achieving results, losing unwanted weight and keeping it off, and actually sticking to a program.
Do you know what it is?
It’s having accountability.
Accountability helps change all of this. Is a piece of the recipe of success.
What are the top 3 benefits of having accountability when it comes to your health and fitness journey?
- Achieving Your Goals and Results:
Once we obtain accountability the game changes. We are seeking help in getting the results that we want.
Accountability can help you set realistic goals and having a person or people to help support you work towards achieving them.
When you have someone holding you accountable, whether it’s a coach, a workout buddy, a supportive community like Railroad Crossfit, or all of those combined, you are more likely to stay on track and reach your goals.
Being accountable keeps you honest with yourself and pushes you to strive for progress.
Accountability at our facility has helped countless people transform their relationship with movement and exercise all together. Something that once felt daunting, misunderstood or even had trauma around it – becomes a safe place of self care, empowerment and self betterment.
2. Motivation:
So many of us can struggle to feel motivated, especially with exercise or eating better.
Accountability is a powerful motivator.
Hiring a Coach, paying for a service to radically improve your life and within that having a person, and team care about your health, results and success changes people.
Knowing that you have someone supporting you, cheering you on and holding you to your commitments gives you that extra push on days when you feel like you don’t want to or even giving up.
It’s much easier to become a disciplined individual and stay motivated and focused when your commitments extend beyond yourself -but include other people, like a coach and a community.
3. Consistency:
I believe at our core, we all want or have a desire to be consistent with ourselves. With our health.
Yet building this consistency can be a real struggle. And the more we break our word to ourselves the more we lose trust in ourselves.
Accountability flips that on its head.
One of the key benefits of having accountability is that it helps you stay consistent with your workouts and nutrition.
Accountability teaches us all how to become a more consistent person.
And we build that self respect, self trust and confidence because we follow through on to ourselves.
When you know that someone is counting on you or checking in on your progress, you are more likely to show up and give it your best each time.
Consistency opens that door and allows us to make progress.
Now, combine accountability and consistency over time, and that is the key to lasting results, fitness and health.
Accountability Works:
- Accountability has helped Neil lose over 50lb+ and have kept it off for over a year.
He’s at a weight he hasn’t seen since High school.
- Accountability helped Peter lose over 20lbs, build muscle, transform his confidence and through a really challenging time in his life.
- Accountability has helped Laurie lose over 30lb since January of this year in a sustainable way and be able to get down on the ground easily to now play with her grandkids. She has a new found strength she has never felt before.
- Accountability has helped Adam lose 7lbs in a tremendously busy time of his life. He could no longer attend classes at Railroad but knew he needed accountability. Through transitioning to nutrition and remote coaching he has lost weight, gained muscle and is still working out 3 days a week.
- Accountability taught 22 year old Katelyn how to eat. How to piece meals together to lose weight and feel good and perform better. It gave her tools she didn’t have and helped her follow through on implementing them.
Without Accountability
1. Lack of Progress: Without accountability, it’s easy to fall into a pattern of inconsistency and excuses. This can lead to a lack of progress and unhappiness. When there is no one to hold you answerable, we give ourselves the easy way out and you may find yourself skipping workouts, indulging in unhealthy habits, and ultimately hindering your progress.
2. Loss of Motivation = Loss of Self: Without someone to keep you motivated and inspired, it’s easy to lose sight of your goals and lose motivation. When there is no external source of accountability, you may struggle to find the drive to push yourself and stay committed to your fitness routine. This could ultimately lead to weight gain, decline in health and overall decreases in strength and functionality.
3. Plateauing: Another consequence of lacking accountability is plateauing in your fitness journey. Without someone to push you out of your comfort zone, challenge you to set new goals, and keep you on track, you may find yourself stuck in a rut and unable to make further progress.
Accountability plays a vital role in helping people stay on track, motivated, and committed to our fitness goals.
Whether it’s through a coach, a workout buddy, or a supportive community like Railroad Crossfit, having someone to keep you accountable can make all the difference in your journey towards a healthier and fitter you.
Accountability is not about judgment or pressure; it’s about support, encouragement, and empowerment.
Embracing that we all thrive and are better with accountability, stay committed, and make the most progress – we can achieve amazing results.
