8 Ways to Reach an Exercise Goal

1. Assess where you are at the beginning. How many push-ups can you do? Sit-ups? How long can you run/jog?
2. Ask yourself these questions: What is my goal? Why do I want to achieve it? What will I do to obtain it? Will I do what is required to succeed?
3.Break your big goal into four smaller ones.
4. Recruit a friend/spouse to go through process with you.
5. Schedule your work-outs for a specific times and days - just like everything else that is essential in your week.
6. Lose the all-or-nothing attitude!
7. Write a goal in a daily planner or journal and tell it to at least two friends.
8. Put money in a jar every time you work out. After 10 to 20 workouts spend it on something you want or something that will help you work out. (We may not all have tons of money but just loose change you save up for twenty workouts or for a month..then spend it. Go to a cheap movie or rent a redbox or something. But spend it on yourself!)
