Showing Original Post only (View all)What are your fitness goals and what's your plan to attain them? [View all]
I'm a big believer in having good goals and a good plan. Goals keep you focused, and a plan gives you a path to get there. Good goals are specific, reasonable, and measurable. A good plan is simply something you can expect yourself to do. Consistency is key. You get better results by consistently following a mediocre plan than you would if you occasionally followed a great plan. That's why it's best to keep your goals attainable, and your plan realistic. If you know you're not going to be able to run six days a week, don't plan on doing it.
Without goals and without a plan, you risk wasting a lot of time and getting frustrated at your lack of results. The professional term for this condition is "fuckarounditis." Avoid this condition at all costs.
So here is where you can share your goals and your plan with the rest of us. Writing them down is a great way to keep them in focus. Or make them anew if you currently have none. If desired, I can offer free and (mostly) non-stupid advice. Starting with the advisement to NOT wait until 1 January 2012 to set goals and come up with a plan and call it a New Year's Resolution. Fitness goals should be revisited periodically, say every 8-12 weeks or so. Fitness plans should be revised similarly, if for no other reason than to change things up and avoid getting into a slump.
So I'd love to hear your goals and your fitness plan and even help out with them if I am able.
