Got Goals!?

So, around 5:00 or 5:15 this morning you heard an obnoxious noise and couldn’t figure out what was going on. Then you remember the noise is your alarm and that this is your first day with Rialto Wellness Boot Camp! After those thoughts of “what was I thinking?” left your head, you got up, got dressed and headed out. You have now become one of those weird people who roll around in the dirt for fun! Was it everything you expected? Were you pushed beyond your comfort zone? For those of you with PM camps, are you excited for your first workout?

You joined boot camp for a reason, right? That reason can usually be translated into a goal. So what are your goals this month? Run with the fast group? 6-pack abs? Lose a size? How about just making it through the month? All of these goals require small steps in order to reach the prize. Take small bites out of these things. Step One: Decide to make it all your sessions this week. Then make a deal with yourself to make it to all week 2 sessions, and so on and so forth. Pretty soon, the month is over and you are running fast or showing off your baggy pants!

This article about setting a fitness goal reminds us that our goals need to be achievable. Setting short term goals like making it to boot camp every day gives us a sense of accomplishment before we reach the end result of losing 10 pounds. The sense of accomplishment you feel with the short term goals makes staying on track to reach the long-term goals easier.

This blog is for you. Tell the world your goals in the comments and we'll help you stay accountable. You can do this...whatever "it" is!
