A lifestyle of fitness and pursuing a healthy existence is a day-by day adventure.  We don’t accomplish it all at once – it is accomplished a single day at a time.  One recent statistic that I encountered stated that 70 to 80% of all fitness programs ultimately crash and burn.  I believe that this is so because people tend to get involved in a fitness program to accomplish the goal of losing weight or to prepare for some activity such as a race or a marathon.  Once that goal is achieved, then psychologically there is no reason for continuing something that is difficult for a certain period of time – which is a lifestyle change.  And if the goal is linked to an event or an achievement, then it was never a lifestyle change at all - it was a goal setting exercise.  At FitScience.net we are focusing on the pursuit of fitness and healthy existence as a permanent lifestyle change, not a goal setting exercise!  There is a world of difference.  We want for you the very same things that we want for ourselves and that is to rid ourselves of a lifetime of poor habits and to develop new ones that will last an entire lifetime.  While it is true that initiating the lifestyle change is difficult, once the change has been integrated anyone’s life, it is no longer difficult because it has become a permanent way of life!  And that is the new life that is full of the joys of health, longevity and freedom from all of the negative things that come from the old life, the old habits and the old expectations.  Stay with us throughout the year as we get there day by day.
