Get Ready Now for the New Year
We have touched on this recently in another post, but since the new year is a mere 20 days away, we thought that now would be a good time to revisit the idea of setting your goals for 2007 now instead of waiting until New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day.
Here are some questions to ask yourself to get ready to hit 2007 running:
1- Where am I at right now?
Get a good idea of what your current condition is. You could do this through taking measurements, taking pictures, or anything else to give you a good indication of where you are in your lifetime fitness goals right now.
2- Where do I want to be 3, 6, 9, and 12 months from now?
Get an idea of where you want to be. Find some pictures of people that represent the body you would want to have. (NOTE — Its a good idea if you’re going to do this to also check and see if that person is actually the same body type as you also. For example, if you are a 6′4″ Ectomorph, a 5′1″ Mesomorph might not be the absolute best role model for you.)
3- How am I going to get there?
It’s one thing to have a goal, it’s another thing to have a plan to reach that goal. What days will you be able to work out? Are you going to follow a particular plan? And so forth. Its also important at this point that you have a good understanding of what your main goal is: to gain muscle, or to lose weight. Then, make a plan and get ready to execute it.
These are just a few ideas to help you get ready for the New Year. Let’s all work together to make 2007 the year that more people actually achieve their fitness goals. We truly believe that one of the only ways that this is going to happen is by preparation. If you don’t start getting ready for 2007 now, chances are that March will roll around and you’ll be in the same shape or worse than you are now simply because you did not prepare.

I’m a firm believer that setting goals is not done enough in excersize. All too often people set a goal on how much they are going to lose, but don’t really think about how they are going to get there. After about a week of not eating chocolate they cave because they haven’t really done anything and consequently haven’t’ really gone anywhere. you need to set goals.
