Goal Setting

One of the biggest mistakes people make when they start to workout is that they do not have a plan. They have a goal which may be to lose weight or get in shape, but they do not really know how to get there. Spending five minutes planning out your path could make the difference between accomplishing that goal or resetting it again next year. The best thing to do is to set a goal each week and then each day of what you want to accomplish. Week one may be to workout three days a week for 30 minutes. Day one of week one may be 15 minutes on the treadmill at a HR of 145, one set of leg press for 10 reps, one set of Pulldowns for 10 reps, one set of chest press for 10 reps, one set of shoulder press for 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between each set. Planning each day of the week for your workout helps keep you on your track. This allows you to accomplish small feats along the way to obtaining your ultimate goal.
