"A plan is only as good as those who see it through."

The question comes up," What do I have to do to relieve this discomfort?" or "What do I have to do to be stronger at this?" After spending time with them on an assessment and getting a handle on what they are willing to change in their lifestyle I draw something that I think will stick. Depending on the person and situation some will do part of the workout, some won't do anything at all and rarely does anyone do everything. I'm smart enough to know that putting together a life-changing routine is only as good as one's ability to follow it. The only way to find out if they are following it is to;

1. Follow Up,
2. See what they liked or didn't like,
3. Make additions, subtractions, other modifications,
4. Rewrite,
5. Follow up again.

No plan is ever perfect. Even with adjustments plans still aren't perfect. With ongoing modifications you do get closer and closer but only when that person follows your recommendations, enjoys the process and sees the desired results is the plan "perfect".
