If you want to FAIL at reaching your fitness goals, then stick to the following points. It surprises me how many people adopt some of these points, yet, still hope to achieve their fitness goals. They set themselves up to fail. | Poor goal setting | | | Poor accountability | | Indifference | | | Poor planning | | Poor personal responsibility | | | High stress load | | Negative thinking | | | Inflexible approach | | Poor quality training | | | Dehydration | | Dislike of exercise | | | Poor nutrition | | Exhaustion | | | |
I have listed the points in the order I feel represents their level of importance, number one being the biggest faux-pas. This list is not exhaustive, but represents the most common failures I observe with people.

Since the 1960s athletes have been competing in races barefooted and, with the recent increasing wave of interest in barefoot running, many people have raced to purchase minimalist shoes and jumped, quite literally, feet first into the sport. The reason being that with natural, ‘shoeless’ running, the lateral edge of the human forefoot is the part which strikes the ground with the most force. Running in padded shoes typically alters this as more emphasis is placed on the heel and the area towards the back of the foot – which has been claimed to cause more stress on the heel, knees and hips. Therefore many athletes became interested in the sport to strengthen the foot and help improve speed.
