5. Go slow

The slower you go the further you’ll get in your fitness journey. Fast results may be very tempting, but every shortcut comes at a price you won’t be willing to pay.

The faster your body changes, whether it is weight loss or muscle gain, the more of a shock it is to your system.

With fitness, there is no end date, you make it part of who you are, the kind of thing you do as consistently as brushing your teeth.

So slow and steady is the best kind of speed when it comes to body transformation.
