Why Not?

The capicity to keep pressing forward is in your control. The three reasons anybody ever does anything can be explained by the theory of self-determination, which requires autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

Autonomy is straightforward—it's about you making the choice. For example, if you decide to get in shape and improve your nutrition, that’s your autonomous decision.

Relatedness refers to feeling connected to others. This could involve having a support group or engaging with people who share your fitness goals. Some people enjoy exercising in groups, while others prefer working out alone. Either way, finding a sense of community or support is crucial for making lasting changes.

Finally, there’s competence, which is often the most challenging aspect. Knowing the right fitness and nutrition program can be overwhelming and is a common reason people avoid the gym—they don’t feel confident in what to do. That’s where professionals like me come in: to provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to build that competence. With this final piece in place, you can take control of your fitness and health for good.
