I thought it would be beneficial to break down how I have helped write programs in the past. The will be a multiple part series and today we will focus on the first part of that series: Figuring out what you want.
Before you start to train and workout, you should have some sort of goal in mind, some sort of target. It's never fun to go to the gym, just because you feel you should go to the gym.
What is it that you want? Do you want to increase your muscle mass, do you want to get stronger in certain lifts? Do you want to lose some weight?
You have to know where you are headed before you begin and today's exercise will help you pinpoint that
MVP Mental Exercise
1. Pick a goal that you want to achieve over the next 12 weeks 12 weeks is preferred because I am going to have you set up three 4 week programs
2. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest, rate your goal on your belief that you can actually achieve that goal
3. Your goal HAS to fall within the 7-10 range in order for you to have confidence that you know you can complete it, but still hard enough to where you will need to grow in order to achieve it, if your goal does not fall within that range, change it until it fits that criteria
4. Take that goal and determine the reason WHY you want to achieve it, think very hard on this as this will help harness your motivation for those days when you just don't feel like it
****Do this activity today and stayed tuned for the next part in the series****
