Let’s get the New Year started right. That short break between visiting family and getting back to work is a great time to assess the year ahead and set the goals that you want to achieve with your training. We’re not talking about resolutions; we’re way beyond those. We are setting landmarks for your body in the year ahead – with no going back!
The reason that we’re not calling these resolutions is because it’s not about a quick change – it’s about changing our lifestyle. If you’re reading this blog, you’re smart enough to know it isn’t so much about the destination but the journey. Small, achievable goals will keep you moving forward throughout the year. Let’s look at a basic goal, like adding an inch to your chest. You’re not going to achieve this by just hitting the bench harder. There will be diet changes, schedule changes and a re-evaluation of your supplements. No matter what you want to do this year, you’ve got to be ready to do some work. That work takes time, and over time, it helps to be able to check off small marker goals for a sense of accomplishment.
While you may want to add an inch in a year – you’ll want to set goals of a quarter inch – say in 2 months. Use this time to set the goals and record them.
