MAKE INTENTIONS – NOT RESOLUTIONS!

A 2007 TD Ameritrade survey reports that 65% of women bail on their fitness goals within 30 days! One of the ways to combat resolution rejection is to set an intention for your fitness goals. Here’s how it works:
A resolution by definition is a decision to behave in a certain manner. Sounds kind of dull and boring, right?
An intention is a guiding principle that lead you toward a specific goal of your own choosing. I don’t know about you but that has a little more juice to it!
When I’m thinking about health goals I focus on what the benefits will be to me. What I want to get out of my workouts these days is different than what I wanted in my 20’s and 30’s.
What do you really want? Make it real to you and remind yourself of what you stand to gain if you stay with it.
