Capacity

Had been training and dieting for a week or two. Now time pass by so slow, from minute felt like hours and hour felt like days. Some of us already finding reason to skip the training and taking off from dieting, why does this happen? One of the main factor a person may give up is  by training alone or without those who motivates he/she to achieve their goal. Which is more important psychological strength or physiological strength ?

answer : psychological and physiological

Psychological :  pertaining to, dealing with, or affecting the mind, especially as a function of awareness, feeling, or motivation: psychological play; psychological effect.

 A coach/ personal trainer job is creating program for the client, apart from that and the most important area is  to motivate their client to reach their goal. They have been paid to push their clients beyond their mental limit where doing alone is hard and for some is impossible.

Assume that most of us does morning cardio on a daily basis for 30min. In the first week it will take a minimal effort to wake up early, head to the gym located 10min away from home and does 30min of cardio rite? Now, after two weeks or so to do a 20min cardio or even heading to the gym we need tons of effort rite? "Not me"

As I mention before about the SMART goal. "remember and practice it !" 

How I do it 

• Religiously practice the Smart goal
• Positive thinking is a must. Every action that you do push you closer to your goal.
• Never push/stress yourself to diet or train so much instead practice it as a  daily routine whereby it will eventually change into a lifestyle.
• Everything is achievable if you believe that it can be done. "The mind usually fail before the body"

Physiological/Physical : involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit; "physical exercise"; "physical suffering"

This would be the easiest part. Our body will tend to adept to the activities that we do regularly. Try to recalled back how long it takes to bench the first ever 20kg barbell press. Some may take 2 to 6 weeks, as for me about 4 to 5 weeks. They call it muscle adaptation 

If the activities being done regularly sooner or later the muscle we tend to adept to the action or weight. Another reason why personal trainer/coach is always with their client during training is to monitor if he/she is doing the proper form. By doing doing the perfect form, you will be able to fire the right muscle fiber. "If you lift big weights but you are still small than something must be wrong"
