Six Tips on How To Reach Your Fitness Goals

  • Focus on positive self-talk. Congratulate yourself every time you take a step towards your goal. Be your own best cheerleader.
  • Avoid berating yourself if you should fall back or break a resolution. Just brush yourself off and start over again.
  • Stick to your plan by considering it a promise to yourself, not a test of your willpower.
  • Avoid situations that put you in temptation’s path. If you’re on a diet, don’t go to the ice cream parlor.
  • Keep a sticky note in a prominent place so that you see it every day, reminding yourself of your goals (i.e., on your bathroom mirror, next to your bed, on the visor of your car, on the refrigerator).
  • Be realistic. Make sure your plan is a realistic one that can fit into your lifestyle. Will you really have the energy to go out for that evening exercise class? Make changes as easy and convenient as possible.
