Here's how to take your goals seriously:
"Just thinking about something," says Pacific Fitness & Coaching’s Mark Pearson, "will never get you started. But if you set a concrete goal like 'I will sign up to volunteer with a local group this week,' you're more likely to do it."
"Putting an exercise goal down on paper," says Pearson, "or in your workout log (listing which days and how much you'll exercise) can help you stay focused no matter what else is going on in your life. And if you exercise during the day, maybe you're less likely to eat unhealthy foods that day."
"Perhaps it would help to have a long term exercise goal too," he says. "Aim for a 5K or some other goal about 3 months away.""If you continue to set goals and don't reach them, then the frustration just builds," says Pearson, "I don't care if it's 15 minutes per day, but you will feel better if you are hitting your goals."
