setting Goals
Another key to a successful exercise program is setting obtainable goals.
Goals can be big or small. We recommend smaller goals so you see
progress. Here are a few examples:
• Lose one pound per week
• Cut out sweets
• Workout four days/week
• Increase the length of your workout one minute each session until
you hit 45 minutes/workout
Once you set your goals, make sure you write them down and make them
visible. Tape them to your bathroom mirror, on your refrigerator, or on your
computer monitor. Don’t lose sight of your goals. Whatever your goals
are, make them realistic so you can reach them and experience progress.
Celebrate success, then move on to the next goal.
