? Specific
? Realistic

Once you?ve identified your goals, write up a schedule to follow that includes aerobic, strength, and stretching exercises and the days and times you plan to do them. Each day, write a small entry about your workout?how long was it? How did you feel afterward? Did you work out as you?d planned? Why or why not? The entry need not be long and in-depth. This will help track your journey toward health and fitness.
