The new year is here, and once again, the plans are being made. It’s possible for you to make a difference in your life through your personal fitness goals, but you have to make the commitment to yourself.
There are some who have personal challenges to overcome. I have my heart issues for which I am trying to find a balance. My resolution is to become a better slower runner and so far, I am off on the right foot.
We have reached the end of another year.
Throughout the year I have offered training tips and profiles of athletes from a variety of backgrounds. There are many training programs, but how do you know which one is right for you? To be honest you don’t know. There is no magic program just like there is no magic diet program.
Everything will begin with you and what it is that you want.
We are entering the joyous time of the year when the demands on your time increase and the fitness training slips. You must rely upon some good time management.
The following are useful words for the novice and refreshers for the advanced.
One barrier to a successful fitness program is motivation. There’s one solution at your fingertips, however, and that’s finding someone to join in the program so you can push each other. You don’t have to run alone. I’m sure you have no problem finding someone to go on a shopping trip with you.
In the spirit of inspiration this month, I caught up with Elyse Braner of Arlington, Virginia.
Elyse seems to be everywhere, donating her time. She is a runner, running coach, and leader of Girls on the Run DC. I like to think of Elyse as being the person who does not conform to regular training runs, but seeks creativity in order to make things better for those she encounters.
How many times have you searched the internet for the perfect training program? How did that work for you?
There are hundreds of programs, and the difficult part is finding one that matches your goals. In order to set your goals, you have to find a purpose. You can assess where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow, and then you determine what it will take to get there.
