For those of you who have a fitness resolution I have some advice that may make it a bit easier to achieve. First pick your goal, develop a plan for it and go for it.
Example
Goal
Drop 20 lbs of bodyfat by June 1, 2011 with 120 workouts
Plan
Develop a workout plan
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Romanian Deadlifts, Push Ups, Squats, Shoulder Press
Tuesday, Thursday
Intervals
Implement it!
Get a calender, mark your end date, and your short term goal is to cross off the next 120 workouts.
Due to the complexity of exercise program design the above is just an example. The development of an exercise program for your goals is more than just picking a bunch of exercises and doing them. Yes you will get results. But what is missing are the amount of repetitions that are needed, the rest time, the tempo, the intensity and the variations in the exercise routine, recovery and nutrition factors should also be addressed.
The main point that I am trying to make is that if you are a coach potato, and you commit yourself to 120 workouts in any period of time (not one workout a year). You will see change and you will be a different person.
So go out there and and do it!
