Poor abandoned blog. I feel like chatting, so why not write something.
I've had trouble in the past getting too excited and making drastic changes to my fitness regimen. So I took a different approach and made some very easy goals that don't require much time or effort.
Work out at least 3 times per week.
Simple enough, but what is a workout? Well, let's have something measurable, and for fun add a reward.
I'll give myself $20 to do 5 sets of 10 push-ups.
Oh no, there is no time! This must be a poor goal. Well, I don't care. I just want to have a direction, I don't care about speed right now. I'm so bad about working out I don't have a good understanding of timing. Also the goal is a bit out of my reach. So I made an easier one.
$5 for 5 sets of 5.
Well within my reach. Currently I can do 3 sets of 5. Also I like to challenge myself. So yesterday instead of burpees that I have been doing I tried diamond push-ups. It was definitely challenging. I have other goals. Goals are fun, they keep me motivated. An interesting goal I have is to do the splits next year. This came up from talking to my sister about not having a pull up as a goal. She never really had the desire or motivation, and she countered with splits. Why isn't that a goal. Some of my arguments were it is doable and something you have never done. So there you go. Now I'm stretching after my very short workout.
I guess to make this blog more fun I should add links or pics. Tough.
