Four Consequential Dimensions of Fitness Improvement

Consequences are the positive and negative aspects that can result from your decisions or actions. Other terms used to describe them include after effects, aftermath, and outcomes. There can be both intended and unintended consequences from decisions or actions.

Thinking about, identifying, and evaluating potential consequences is very important in the process of making your decision and building motivational energy to pursue and sustain weight loss and fitness improvement.

Exploring consequences is a key part of the Fitness Protocols’ approach to help you build lasting commitment to weight loss and fitness improvement. The approach involves an exercise enables you to explore consequences thoroughly by looking at them along four key dimensions in the context of the following three key quality of life factors:

• Fitness/Health
• Relationships
• Wealth

The consequential dimensions exploration exercise involves responding to the following questions:

• What will happen to your health, relationships, and/or wealth if you improve?
• What will happen to your health, relationships, and/or wealth if you do not improve?
• What will not happen to your health, relationships, and/or wealth if you do improve?
• What will not happen to your health, relationships, and/or wealth if you do not improve?

Exploring all four dimensions will provide a much clearer picture of what may happen, one way or the other. In the end the resulting effect of this exploration should produce additional motivational energy to help you develop critical lasting commitment to lose weight and improve your fitness.

The Fitness Dynamic

Your fitness condition is the result of a number of decisions and behaviors. The dynamic process originates and ends in the mind. However, the mind and the body are tightly connected and interrelated; thus, they cannot be separated per se.

A number of internal and external factors influence our decisions and the behaviors and actions that result. Understanding this dynamic is critical to your success. Therefore, we have developed a model to clarify how it works, which we refer to as the Fitness Dynamic Model™.

The model, shown in the next page describes the six key factors that influence what, when, where, and how much we eat and do. Our behavior leads to the level of nutrition, activity, and energy balance that results in how well we do, look, and feel on a daily basis.

Understanding how this dynamic works can make a big difference to you!
