In order to MEASURE your progress, you’ll need some very specific information at the starting point. Get a fitness assessment from a personal trainer or ask your doctor for a physical exam prior to beginning your fitness project. This will make goal setting much easier because you’ll know exactly what you need to accomplish. It’s also the only possible way to measure how far you’ve come at any point in your pursuit of fitness.
Set up a TIME frame and allow yourself to reach your goals in increments. Be realistic and give yourself a pat on the back when you reach every milestone. You’ll be surprised at how much momentum you’ll gain when you reach that first goal and can start working on the next step. Success feels great!
