Can you believe it’s the end of April already? It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the New Year and then it was Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter and now – tomorrow, we celebrate May Day, then Cinco de Mayo, then Mother’s Day and the list goes on and on and on. We’ve come out of the Winter, into the Spring and now we are on the fast track to summer and the swimsuit season. There’s no better time than today to make your fitness plans, check your goals and more.
End of the Month Fitness Goal Check
The following questions are designed to be a checklist of sorts, you can write them down in your journal or just answer them mentally for now. The idea is to give yourself a solid idea of where you’ve been so you can make the choices and decisions for what you are going to do next.
So here are some questions I want you to ask yourself:
How often do you work out?
Do you perform cardiovascular exercise, strength training and flexibility training?
Have you recently been ill? Are you recovering from surgery?
Have you actively been working on personal goals whether they are associated with fitness or other?
What obstacles, if any, are preventing you from achieving those goals?
What can you do to overcome these obstacles?
Where would you like to be 31 days from now?
Assessing Yourself
Taking the time to assess yourself, where you are and where you are planning to be is a good way to check yourself. I spent a week in London, walking, walking and wait for it, walking some more. I felt good that I could keep up, but I was so sore at the end of the day that I know I need to do more.
How about you?
