I haven’t been as consistent with this workout and lifestyle regimen as I wanted. I learned to keep making goals that are attainable instead of trying to reach too far, and get discouraged. I found myself setting goals such as running 4 miles, for example, and eating only lean foods. I would run one mile, take a break and walk, and then just give up on the rest of my workout. Now, I feel determined

Strength exercises (push ups, olympic lifts, pulls ups, etc.,) are what I normally go for in the gym. I find them to be the most functional for me and what I believe I need most, and it’s fun. It’s been said that we should try to engage in cardio activity for a minimum of 10 minutes. I’m making that my goal first. 10 minutes of cardio isn’t too bad.

I will try and focus on doing my cardio first. I believe in getting the harder things over with first, then doing the fun stuff. I have to do at least 10 minutes and since I’m usually able to run a mile in anywhere from 6-8 minutes, I’ll just run a little over 1 mile before getting to my strength workout. I have to continue to remind myself that goals should be realistic and attainable. This is a goal I think I’ll be able to achieve.
