Getting Ready For New Year’s Resolutions 2010

This week we are going to start getting ready for New Year’s Resolutions. It is important to put into perspective what you are going to try to accomplish next year. I don’t particularly like resolutions, but I do like setting and accomplishing goals. Here’s your next task to keep you moving forward and accomplishing your fitness goals in 2010.

Weight loss typically tops the list but by Feb 14th most resolutioners have already quit their exercise program. Don’t get caught giving up this year! Use these posts as your worksheets toward a solid plan and great fitness in 2010.

First, look at where you are.   What is it about where you are that you want to change?   Is this something you can easily do? Why or why not? What might hold you back?   How will you deal with those obstacles? Are you ready to change?   Remember the saying: The pain of staying the same must be greater than the pain of change. It will be uncomfortable, hard, and time consuming, but if it matters to you it will be worth it. I’ve said this before, but it is worth noting again, who are you changing for?   Write down the answers to the above questions. This will help cement the process you are about to begin. If you feel you are up to a wild challenge ask a friend to ask them and provide your answers, truthful answers, back to your buddy. An outside observer may offer fresh perspective on where you are and where you want to go. Please, make sure the person you pick to hear your inner thoughts genuinely supports your efforts.
