We have established 3 different steps in setting up your new strategy to a healthier you. Now we will outline goals and different ways to track these goals. I am a big fan of using mapmyride.com or one of their sister sites; mapmyrun.com or mapmyfitness.com. However there are several ways you can track your fitness goals using a simple program such as Microsoft Works Fitness Tracking spreadsheet.
Remember, your goals need to be broken down into short term and long term goals. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to use your support system. Whether it be a friend or family member, having some fun competition or help allows us to stay motivated and going when we reach those low points or plateaus.
In the end the goal is a healthier you. The journey needs to be a one filled with fun and excitement, growth and challenges. I encourage each and every one of you to shoot for the stars. Your journey towards health can be as rewarding and challenging as you want it to be. I encourage each of you to track your progress and if you want feel free to track mine. I do my best to sign up for a 30 day 300 mile ride challenge each month from March until November on Mapmyride.com.
See you at the gym and on the road.
