Can you believe  the first week of the new year is almost over. I thought this would be perfect a blog post on how to reach your goals. I am going to share my own 2010 goals with you at the bottom and I want to hear yours as well.

Some of you may of heard about this but if not in 1953 a very famous study took place, the graduating seniors of a major university (Yale) were asked if they had written goals, and plans to achieve them, after they left the university.
It turned out that 3 % had written goals and a game plan to reach them. 14 % had goals but they were not written. The other 83%  had no goals or plans at all, aside from getting out of the university and going on vacation that summer.
Twenty years later in 1973, they did a follow up on the graduates in the study and asked them, among other things, about their financial situations. They found that the 3 percent of students who had clear, written goals and plans upon graduation were worth more than the entire 97 percent of graduates put together.

So what does this experiment have to do with your fitness goals?

It has EVERYTHING to do with them

Before we start an exercise plan, we must write down our fitness goals.

This will program your subconscious towards achieving your goal.

EXAMPLE

Imagine that you have two drivers, each with a brand new Car.

They both set to travel across the country toward a distant destination.

One sets off with no road map, navigation system, nothing.

The second driver takes the time to plan his trip carefully using road map, navigation and getting advice from people who have traveled that path.
Which driver do you think will reach his destination on schedule??

The first driver probably won’t even reach his destination.
Your fitness goals are pretty much the same.

People with clear, very specific goals and plans that they work from each day, accomplish on average, 10 times the result as others who don’t have a clear idea of where they are going or when they want to get there.

Hope enjoyed this short post and may all your fitness goals come true for you in 2010.
