Level One: Self accountability
Accountability is a massive leverage factor in achieving any kind of success, whether in business or in a fitness program, and here’s where it starts:
With yourself.
Self-accountability, also known as internal accountability, means you set a goal, map out a plan, make a commitment to it and then “keep score.”
You can become accountable to yourself by:
1. Setting written goals
2. Weighing yourself
3. Measuring body composition
4. Taking body (circumference) measurements
5. Tracking results on a weekly progress chart
6. Taking photographs
7. Creating meal plans or tracking nutritional intake in a journal
8. Creating workout schedules and tracking training performance in a journal
Anything you want to improve should be measured, and everything related to your nutrition, training and even lifestyle (hours and quality of sleep, etc) should be tracked in writing (or electronically).
If you aren’t keeping track and staying accountable by using at least 6 out of 8 items in the list above, then level one – SELF accountability – is where you begin.
