Rome wasn't built in a day!

We have all heard our parents say that haven't we? It is indeed true, Rome was not built in a day, or even in a week. It was a work in progress for many years, and the last few hundred years it has been an effort of maintenance.

Like Rome, we cannot sculpt the body of our dreams in days, weeks, or even months. We must remember that patience is an asset and a virtue. It is NEEDED in order to see your best possible results.

Whether your goal is to gain muscle, lose weight, look more athletic, be a bikini model, time is needed. People do not climb Mount Everest in a day, its an entire voyage.

We live in a very fast paced world, and we often want to get from point A to point B, but we don't think about the ride, simply the final destination. I find with people who train, that often becomes the case. They want the big biceps, or the flat stomach, but they don't remember all the SMALL stuff that got them there.

Enjoy the ride!!! Before you can run a marathon you need to improve your 10k. Before you can bench 3 plates, you have to perfect your form on 1 plate. It is the small accomplishments that add up to create one final picture.

If your journey is health related, your blood pressure will not go back to normal after your first workout. You need to work your cardio, eat right, do some weight training, perhaps get involved in a sport. In a few months you will see a drop in your blood pressure and probably your resting heart rate too.

Don't get discouraged if it takes longer to get to where you want to go. There are bumps and distractions along the way, but stay on your path. Focus on your goal, and enjoy the journey towards it, it will make the final accomplishment all that much more amazing.
