Telling It Like It Is

Getting in shape is all about setting goals. Losing weight, building muscle, and ditching those unhealthy eating habits can be hard. You're dealing with some major lifestyle changes here. When you decide what you want, make it specific and concrete. For example, don't just say that you want to "lose weight." Ask yourself some questions. How much weight? Is weight loss really the most important thing? Is it more important that you climb your front steps with ease or lower your body-fat ratio? Think hard about what you want, and use a journal to keep track of your goals.
