PRIORITIZE your fitness goals. Think seriously about what’s most important to you. If you have several different fitness goals on your wish list, prioritize them so you can focus on one at a time. If your goals are too complex or different from each other, you’ll have a tough time achieving them all at once and it will feel like failure.
Be SPECIFIC about your goals. A common goal is “Weight Loss”. Think about whether you really want to lose WEIGHT or is it FAT you want to lose? A more positive goal may be “I want to gain muscle and healthy, lean mass.” How many pounds? Is there a cycling or running race in which you’d like to compete? A mountain you’d like to conquer? A new activity or hobby you’d like to try? A grandchild that you want to play with?
If there’s a particular task you wish to accomplish, you’ll need to know exactly HOW to train in order to get that done.
