GOALS, STRATEGY, SUPPORT, ACTION
The foundation for a successful aerobic fitness program rests on
seven pillars.
|
1. |
Write down your goals for being fit and healthy. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Get a coach and/or an exercise mate. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
Develop a program. take a look at the 21 minute fitness
training program. |
|
|
|
|
4. |
Develop strategies for maintaining your exercise
program; for instance do things like varying your
program, cross training, exercising in different
surroundings, on your own, with other people, in a class
where you have to be there at a certain time ... |
|
|
|
|
5. |
Exercise at a rate you can manage. Have hard workouts
and easy workouts. Don't train so hard today that you
can't train tomorrow. Get a heart rate monitor so you
know exactly how hard you're exercising. |
|
|
|
|
6. |
Monitor your progress. Establish a benchmark of your
aerobic fitness at the beginning of your quest and at
regular intervals thereafter.
Measure how you're
going on the 20m run test of aerobic fitness |
|
|
|
|
7. |
Stay focused on the results you want to achieve. A goal is a
dream with a deadline. |
After you've done the initial fitness test send me an email (via
contactus) and let me know how you went. Then, at any time over the
next three months feel free to report back and let me know three
things
1. whether
achievement has matched intention
2. how much you've
improved
3. how much better
you feel.
So
what is it that's holding you back? What is it that's stopping
you from being a regular, systematic and vigorous exerciser?
What is it that will cause you to drop out of any fitness
program that you embark on? Is it
-
Laziness
- Ignorance
- Stupidity
- Attachment to a comfortable way of life
