Let’s be honest, throwing money at a problem doesn’t solve the problem. Signing up at a gym, joining a boot camp, or hiring a personal trainer will not get you to your goal. We all know people who have been working out 5 days a week for many years but have the same body they did that January 1st. years ago. I have tried to help many of these people over the years. Not one of them said that they wanted to look the same in 5 year. I have heard, ” I want to lose weight”, “I want to tone up”, ” I want to get in shape”, “I want to eat better”. Most of those people never got specific about there goals and made them measurable. Vague and unmeasurable goals do not get achieved.
Last post we talked about specific goals and this week we will discuss measurable. If my goal is to lose weight, a measurable goal would be to to lose a pound a week. If my goal was to run a marathon, my measurable goal would be make sure I got my daily milage. If I wanted to go to a kettlebell certification, I would need to complete a certain number of exercises a week.
