Summer is here, at least the heat and long days are. We have all worked so hard. Let's continue our forward momentum and progress by setting new goals, re-establishing our previous goals, and developing a new fitness game plan for the summer. Adaptation and change have to occur in order for progress to take place. Making fitness a lifestyle is all about identifying our goals, establishing a game plan, putting forth the effort, and constantly evaluating your progress.
This week:
1. Set a 6-week goal
2. Establish a fitness game plan
3. Develop an evaluation system for your weekly progress
Progress occurs when all of the necessary elements of the fitness equation are in place.
Fitness equals:
1. Setting realistic short term goals and establishing a fitness game plan
2. Proper and Adequate Nutrition
3. Consistent Cardiovascular and Resistance Training
4. Proper and Adequate Rest and Recovery
Progress also occurs within the ebb and flow of life's ups and downs. Some weeks will be productive, our fitness a priority and our nutrition a solid contribution. Other weeks will be embarrassing and downright frustrating, taking two steps back and making getting back on track exhausting and intimidating. That's the beauty of evaluation. These ups and downs will enable an insightful eye to see if our fitness game plan is first realistic and second, in need of some fine tune tweeking. Our short term goals and the plan we have established to achieved them will always require adaptation and change. If we resist this, our goals will seem insurmountable.
This week, just like last week, determine a realistic exercise frequency and duration, schedule those times in your calender, and do your best to complete what you have set out to do. If your schedule and obligations call for a shift in plans, restablish the week's exercise game plan.
Your assignment this week:
1. Sweaty cardio 3-5xs, 30-60 minutes
*This holiday weekend will be filled with good food and spirits. Let's use the cardio to burn off the consumed extra calories.
2. High Intensity Resistance Training 2-4xs, 20-60 minutes. The more lean muscle we build the more effecient our bodies are at burning fat.
Have a great weekend and let me know about your goals.
