Hot Fitness Tip

|
|
 Use
correct form when exercising. Pay attention to muscle
imbalances and incorrect movement patterns; follow a
regular stretching program. The right strength and
flexibility will help you achieve correct form during
exercising. If you can’t perform an exercise with proper
form, then you need to either decrease your weight or
modify the exercise.

One Small Step Every Day
 Many
of the major goals in our lives (physical health,
financial security, etc) are items that cannot be
completed in a single day. In fact, most of the large
goals are things that will require work the rest of our
lives.
You don’t have to accomplish them all at once – you just
have to stay in control and take one step every day.
As long as you make a steady progress towards the goals,
you will be in an active control of your life – rather
than watching the days pass by.

 "First,
have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an
objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve
your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third,
adjust all your means to that end."
