ly, the more checks you have, the more likely that you will achieve your goal. In WDA coursesaddition to specific and measurable, your goals must be A, or attainable. The R stands for realisitic. As I’ve said before, it’s important to set challenging goals. Challenging, but attainable, that is. A goal of a 50 pound increase on your bench WDA coursespress max in 12 weeks would be a challenging goal, but also one that is possible. However, setting a goal of bench pressing 300 pounds in 4 weeks when you currently bench press 75 pounds will do nothing but set you up for failure and WDA coursesmany fall victim to promises like “lose 30 pounds in 30 days without getting hungry and without exercising.” As a reader of this newsletter, you know that the above is neither timely nor realistic. But many people do fall for su44 Popularity:26 WDA coursesTags:Health And FitnessAuthor RSS Feed Get SMART to Get Fit I’m not sure who was creative enough to make the acronym work, but work it does and it can fit in quite nicely with your fitness goals. If you want to succeed you need to get WDA coursesyour goals. The S stands for specific. Be specific about the goals you want to achieve. Forget things like, “I want to get in shape”, “I want to add muscle”, or “I want to lose weight”, or “I want to increase my bench press.” Instead try things WDA courseslike “I want to run a 6 minute mile”, “I want to add 10 pounds of muscle”, “I want to losrcises at least every other workout. All of these are specific and measurable. The more specifics that you have, the more likely you will add your 10 pounds of muscle as quickly as possible. You can make a list of your daily, weekly, and monthly goals that you must do in order to meet your top goal of adding 10 WDA coursespounds of muscle. Each day, place a check mark next to each measurable and specific goal you achieved that will help you ce 20 pounds of fat, or “I want to add 40 pounds to my best bench press.” The M stands for measurable. This ties in very well with specific. You can’t measure ‘getting in shape”, but you sure WDA coursescan measure ‘running a 6 minute mile’. With a pair of trusty skin fold calipers, you can also measure pretty accurately adding 10 pounds of muscle or losing 20 pounds of fat. And of course, you can easily measure the poundage increase ch things because they want results NOW! They are setting themselves up for failure. Please don’t join them. The T stands for Timely. If you do everything previously mentioned, it’s still not enough. You must give yourself a deadline to achieve your goal. More importantly, if your goal is attainable and realistic, but also long term, break it up into smaller goals. If you wish to lose 75 pounds, start with losing just 10 pounds in 2 months. Reaching that goal will motivate you further and before you know it, enough time has passed that you’ve lost the 75 pounds. But if you focus solely on losing the 75 pounds, which could take a year or more to accomplish, your motivation and discipline could wane, and you could fail to follow through on what you need to do to make your goal a reality. Making goals timely hold you accountable and creates a positive sense of urgency. You may think twice about eating that piece of cake when you know you are having a body composition test and pictures taken in 2 weeks. In addition to getting smart, celebrate your successes. And I don’t mean that you should allow yourself to dust off a gallon of ice cream in one sitting because you lost 10 pounds. That would be self defeating. But you could treat yourself to a movie, or a pair of jeans you’ve had your eye on, or an WDA coursesextra hour of sleeping in on the weekend. Don’t sabotage your wonderful efforts by giving yourself destructive rewards for accomplishing your goals. Gregg Gillies is a speaker, consultant, fat loss expert, trainer and author.

If you don’t feel like doing something or start doubting whether the activity has any value, do it ‘anyway’ and then see what the results are later after WDA coursesyou have completed the activity. Some results can be seen or felt almost immediately. You reluctantly go for a walk but feel great as soon as you get home. Other results may take a week or so. You start eating less and feel slimmer in WDA coursestwo or three days’ time. A few days ago I started eating less before going to sleep instead of having a large evening meal. Today I had my reward. I was walking past a local farm when the farmer took a long look at me and then patted his stomach saying: “You are losing it!” He is no lightweight himself but I took his WDA coursesencouragement in the spirit in which it was meant aneos I could use again and found where I had put my video of ‘The Hulk’. Another result was that WDA coursesthe left side of my room was now looking almost tidy! However, the main benefit of carrying out any plan is not the results produced. It is the character produced. Our self-esteem and confidence rise every time we carry out a plan however small it is.
