When planning a fitness goal it is best to come up with a practical and attainable goal. If your goal is fairly large then maybe it might be a good idea to break it up into 2 to 4 smaller goals that together equal your primary goal. Once you have your plan of action you should write it down. Read it aloud to yourself once in the morning when you are getting ready for the day and once in the evening when you are getting ready for bed. If you really want to succeed you can even write your goal or goals on an index card and read many times throughout the day. Live it! Anyone can come up with a goal. The hard part is how you plan to achieve it. Write down your game plan along with your goals. Whatever goals you may have, there is always a number of things you will need to accomplish in order to attain it. If your goal is broken up into 4 smaller goals you must achieve goals 1 through 3 in order to achieve the 4th final goal. The smaller goals (1 to3) represent the 1st mile and the 4th and final goal and beyond represent the extra mile. Stay focussed. Successful people tend to stay on the same course of action and make minor changes if any changes at all. Changing your course of action is simply a way to give up.
