Recognizing your strengths and weaknesses


While these next couple weeks represents the time of year when people begin their annual resolutions, I prefer to look back on the year that is about to end (2008) and list what went good and what didn't go so well. In other words, extracting your weak links in the chain that was 2008 is a great way to set yourself up for success in '09. Specifically, if you didn't get in the 5 workouts a week you had hoped to, start with a conservative number (2, for example) and go from there. If you consistently hit 2 workouts/week for 3 weeks, make it a point to shoot for 3 workouts/week. Everything in progression. Don't overshoot your goals. Of course you should make them challenging, yet realistic at the same time. Good luck and keep in touch.
