"Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another." -John Dewey

Want to improve your health and fitness? Start setting goals. Goals help keep us motivated and on task. I love the way that Wikipedia defines goal-setting, "establishing specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-targeted (S.M.A.R.T) goals."

Start by setting a goal that can easily be achieved within 2-3 months. Having some short-term success will not only build your confidence but it will keep you motivated to push yourself forward. If you need help determining what obtainable goals you should be setting, feel free to give me a shout.
