We all need goals. Goals for work. Goals for housecleaning. Goals for personal hygiene (did I floss this
morning?). Goals for life. Goals give us a way to quantify how well we
are doing at whatever it is we are trying to do. Confused?
Sorry, let me splain…(everyone else, sit tight)
You set an orange cone 40
yards down the field. You set a goal:
run to the cone that’s 40 yards down the field.
You know how well you are doing during this run because of how close (or
far) you are from the cone. If you’re
closer, congratulations, you’re doing something right. If you’re further away from the cone, maybe
we need to make some adjustments.
How does this all relate to
fitness? I’m glad you asked! Ask
yourself these questions: “What is my current level of health and fitness? Where do I want to be?”. If you answered the 2nd question, you’ve
now placed the cone. And now that you’ve
placed the cone, all you need to do is go after it. Maybe your cone is 20 pounds less than your
current weight. Maybe your cone is 5%
less body fat. Maybe your cone is adding
50 pounds to your back squat. Maybe your
cone is running 40 yards without passing out.
Whatever it is, go get the cone.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or you would like some help making it to that cone, you can get at me HERE.
Stay Strong,
Chad
