Get Total Body Strength Training, Enjoy Whole New Level of Fitness from Your Workout…

Body-weight training exercises are closed-chain exercises, which make better use of multiple joints as the resistance is moved away from or toward an anchored body part.

Closed-chain exercises, which are more functional, result in greater motor unit activation and synchronization and better strength performance compared with open-chain exercises (Augustsson et al. 1998; Brindle et al. 2002).

Why goal setting is so important and best way of structuring your fitness goals?

The benefits of goal setting are huge because setting your goals is vital as the first step if you want awesome results.

You see, setting a goal and taking on a challenge is one of the best fitness motivational tools you can use.

You need the right attitude and mental toughness tools for making a plan and getting the results you want, right?

If you don’t know where you’re going, how are you going to know how to get there?

Here’s how to set your own personal goals and for a twist within these goals set challenges to help you reach goals…

If take time to have clear goals, you typically get the best results.

You can structure your challenges and goals so you can see the benefits and end up with amazing results:

• Set goal date to get benefits of goal setting
• How long is your challenge going to be for
• Make sure you set a realistic time frame based on what it is you are wanting to achieve…

9 weeks is a really good kick-starter if there are a lot of changes you are wanting.

Feel free to use the following goal sheet, you can copy or do it for yourself:

In 6 weeks time, (Date:______________), I will be:

In 9 weeks time, (Date:______________), I will be:

In 12 weeks time, (Date:_____________), I will be:

Over the next 9 weeks I am going to do the following to achieve the above goals:

Some of my specific health and nutrition goals I will achieve in the next 9 weeks are:

My long term goal is: (better to be specific with date, including what you’ll be wearing, where will you go, how will you be feeling?)

The 4 week halfway mark is a great place to check you are on track…

Make sure your results are measurable so you can get the benefits of goal setting.

The idea here is to know what your goal looks like exactly and the goal can be measured.

Will you be using your weight or measurements or body fat test or simply a pair of jeans that are just too tight and you want to fit into them.

Be Specific and Paint a Mental Picture

Get really specific about what you want your end result to be.

Take your time to really think about what is really going to motivate you.

Write down what you are at the moment (tired, self-conscious or whatever it may be)…

And write what you want to feel like…

Then paint a strong vision or picture in your mind and make it feel real.

For example: In 9 weeks time on the 15th of July I will go to me favorite restaurant (insert name here), I will be wearing a size 8 black tight sparkly dress…

“I will be feeling super confident and know that I look amazing and will have so much energy and vitality and feel awesome knowing my husband is looking at me thinking I am the most gorgeus and hottest women alive.”

How are you going to get there and what needs to change?

What steps are you going to do to achieve this goal?

What needs to change, what needs to become your non-negotiables? (the steps you will stick to that are going to be part of your daily life)

For example:

I will make sure I do weekly grocery shopping to ensure I always have healthy food available.

I will plan my meals so I don’t reach for unheathy food which won’t make me feel great.

I will go for a fast paced walk or skip rope 3 x a week on Mon, Tues and Thurs…

Get moving and read your goals every day (good idea is goals sheet on your mirror or dinner table/desk.

Remind yourself where you are going and why your doing this.

Remind yourself constantly it will be worth it…

Go write your goals down, set your challenge, lets do it now!

Body weight strength training is a vital part of a balanced exercise routine which includes aerobic activity and flexibility exercises.
