As a personal trainer in Little Rock I meet with many clients who have goals of wanting to lose 10, 20, 30, 50+ pounds or gain muscle mass or increase their strength. These are great to have and absolutely something they can accomplish.

But when many find out that it may take 6-8 weeks before they start seeing progress they get discouraged and always ask if I know of a faster way or anything we can do to speed up the process.

Here is my strategy…3 weeks after your assessment your stamina improves, 1 week after that your balance will improve, 1 week after that your strength will improve, 1 week after that your weight will change, and 2 weeks after that your body composition will change.

These successes as we go build confidence and consistency while making the 6-8 weeks towards progress seem much faster.

I always suggest making your short term goals have higher success rates, which in turn will lead to a better success rate in your more challenging long term goals.

Clients who train with me always are making 2-3 short terms goals and 1-2 long term goals and updating these regularly.
