Setting Fitness Goals

Who else struggles with putting together action plans, setting goals, and not sticking to it? One of my struggles lately is allowing distractions to get in the way of my fitness goals! Yes, you can "Work Hard & Play Hard" as I teach in my book, but you also need to stay fit and live a healthy lifestyle in order to enjoy an active lifestyle! What I have learned lately is that the phone calls, text and email can wait until after your morning workout. I like to workout before I start my work day. If I let these distractions get in the way of my scheduled/planned workout then it ruins my entire day!

Here are a few of my tips that will help you get back on track...and stay on track!!

1. Add your workout to your daily calendar. I have my alarm set for 6:30 a.m. every day so I can start my work out by 7:00 a.m.
2. Turn off your phone if you need to if this is one of the distractions, like mine, that is interrupting your workouts.
3. The night before, place your work out clothes and shoes by your bed so you are prepared and ready to go.
4. Every week (I choose Sunday) write out a workout plan for each day, so you are not guessing when you wake up on which workout you are going to do. If you have a personal trainer you will not need to worry with this since they will have your workout planned.
5. Get moving! If you are not ready for weights, or not into workout videos or gyms, go for a walk, jog or bike ride!

So get started now...set your fitness goals (and STICK to it)! The New Year is only 3 months away! I highly recommend you to also plan and cook your weekly meals on Sunday as well to avoid eating junk & fast food. I will touch on this in my next post!
