It’s the last day of May… seriously, it’s the last day and I am so not prepared for the end of May Fitness Goal Check. How unprepared am I? I forgot I needed to do it for one, I haven’t gotten all my May journals finished up, I skipped days here and there and I’m already so busy concentrating on all the things I need to do for next month, that I forgot you need to take a pause, take a deep breath and look back for a moment to see the path we just followed to get where we are now.
When we do this, we can tell how we’re doing. Is what we were doing working? Did it not accomplish anything? Do you think you need to make changes?
End of the Month Fitness Goal Check
The following questions are designed to be a checklist of sorts, you can write them down in your journal or just answer them mentally for now. The idea is to give yourself a solid idea of where you’ve been so you can make the choices and decisions for what you are going to do next.
So here are some questions I want you to ask yourself:
How often do you work out?
Do you perform cardiovascular exercise, strength training and flexibility training?
Have you recently been ill? Are you recovering from surgery?
Have you actively been working on personal goals whether they are associated with fitness or other?
What obstacles, if any, are preventing you from achieving those goals?
What can you do to overcome these obstacles?
Where would you like to be 31 days from now?
Assessing Yourself
Taking the time to assess yourself, where you are and where you are planning to be is a good way to check yourself. It’s the best way to judge as you go forward, where you are and where you are going to be. Because tomorrow is June 1st and May of 2007 will be over and done, never to come again – so how did you do this month?
