As we welcome in 2011, we are excited and raring to go. We make a list of New Year’s Resolutions that often do not make it into February. Although we have good intentions, it might be more helpful if we focus on Fitness Goals instead. When we think of it this way, we tend to stick to them a bit longer.
Statistics show that 80% of people give up before actual results can be seen. At a minimum we need 90 days to see results. It is important to set simple and realistic goals to ensure success. If your goal is to lose weight, start with a pound a week for example. If your goal is to exercise more, take it a day at a time. Do not try to do everything at once (this is how we get injured). If your goal is to train for a half marathon, get a trainer to prepare you for the task at hand.
For 2011, challenge yourself. Get out of your comfort zone. What I mean by that is, if you are used to doing the same thing the same way, (ex. Walking or running on the treadmill at the same pace) make it more intense. Bring the speed up, increase your incline. If you’ve thought about starting up cycling or rock climbing and all you ever do is talk about it, be about it, just do it. Do something different. You will be surprised at how you translate that to other areas in your life.
This year, we are going to devote our fitness to being in the best shape of our life. We encourage you to do the same. 
Please feel free to share what your Fitness goals for 2011 are.
