Fitness Plan Secrets
by: Tony Farrell
In order to get the benefit of this Fitness Plan
Secrets training article, unless you have done so
already, it's important that you first read the
previous article where I explained about creating a
clear goal using these Fitness Goal Secrets here:
http://www.how-to-build-muscle-and-fitness.com/fitness-goal-secrets.html
Fitness Plan Secrets:
To follow on from this, you must reverse your
goals. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not
suggesting you do something drastic here.
What I am saying is that in order to achieve your
new clear goal(s), you must first look at the end
result and then backward plan it. We are going to
uncover these Fitness plan secrets.
Sound confusing?
Let me show you what I mean --
You have a Clear Goal. Not a vague one, but a
clear and definite one. So how do you go about
achieving it?
Backward Plan It!
In other words, always start with the end in mind.
This is your focus through the entire action process
from now until you achieve that goal. In your case,
the end is what you ultimately want to achieve --your Clear Goal and Definite Goal.
Lets reveal your Fitness Plan Secrets, shall we?
Imagine you have just reached your goal. How
does it feel? How does it look?
Now lets reminisce here a little:
As you feel that surge of "I did it!" rush through you,
look back over time.
What was the last step you achieved directly before
you reached your ultimate goal. This is the
beginning of the fitness plan secrets needed to
build your own plan.
What was it you achieved in that last step?
Write it down.
Now step backwards to that last step, in your mind.
What was it that you achieved just before reaching
that second last step? What obstacle did you
overcome to get here? Whatever it was.
Write that down too.
Now repeat this process, until you arrive at where
you are now.
To throw some light on it for you, let me give you
an example:
Lets assume you want to add two inches to your
bicep within 16 weeks. Here's how you would
apply the fitness plan secrets to help you here --
Look at the end result. In this case your bicep is
two inches bigger. Imagine how that feels having
achieved this goal. WOW.
Now imagine you sitting there after finally
achieving this goal, and you think back to all the
hard work you did in order to get there. As you look
back, you start off with what you achieved just
before reaching your goal.
What did you achieve or what obstacle did you
overcome directly before your final target?
Lets say you gained half an one and a half inches
to your bicep up to the step just before reaching
your goal. That's your gain from week one to week
twelve.
Now step back into that last step, in your mind's
eye. What was it that you achieved just before the
step you are currently on (week 12). Maybe you
gained an inch increase in your bicep muscle up
to that point.
Notice the pattern. Week sixteen - Goal of two
inches reached. Week twelve - Goal of one and a
half inches reached. Therefore it stands to reason
that on week eight, you would have reached a goal
of one inch. And on week four, you would have
achieved a goal of half an inch.
Your fitness plan secrets pattern would be
revealed. In this case, here's how it would look in
simple terms --
Week 16 -
Final goal achieved: Two inches onto your biceps
Week 12 -
The step before that: One and a half inches onto
your biceps
Week 8 -
The step before that again: One inch onto your
biceps
Week 4 -
The step before that again: Half an inch onto your
biceps
The sixteen weeks were broken down into smaller
goals. Each smaller goal represents a step you
must reach before moving onto the next one. It's
impossible to just go straight to two inches, without
first taking that first step.
You main goal must be broken down, like the
example above, into smaller more easily
achievable steps, working backward from your
main goal all the way down to the very first step.
This is your game plan and is what you should
follow consistently and without fail. Then --
Unless you have extremely long flexible legs, if you
want to climb a stairs that has ten steps the only
way to reach the top step is by taking the step that's
closest and more easily achievable -- the first step.
I hope you learned something from my fitness plan
secrets. Watch out for my follow on to each article
each week.

A Better Golf Swing Is Inevitable
A Better Golf Swing Is Inevitable
by: Mike Pedersen
A better golf swing is inevitable?for any golfer, with the right approach.
It doesn?t matter age or ability.
It?s a reality?and can happen very quickly!
To achieve a better golf swing, a golfer needs to realize just how physically demanding it is on the human body.
You are swing an object (golf club) at up to 100 mph.
This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
If these tissues of the body are weak, tight or brittle they will rupture and eliminate you from playing golf indefinitely.
If it doesn?t, your performance will pay the price.
The outcome either way is not what you want?but will happen without an emphasis on strengthening these areas.
Along with strengthening comes stretching.
Stretching muscles to attain a better golf swing is common among most golfers.

Weight Training Equipment Choices - How To Decide Between Free Weights And Weight Training Machines
by: Julie-Ann Amos
Once you have made the decision to invest in weight training equipment for your home gym, the next step is to determine which kind of equipment to buy.

Being The Best Golf Player You Can Be
Being The Best Golf Player You Can Be
by: Edwin Shackleford
Just like any other game, to be considered a good golf player goes beyond having an average score of below 80. While skill at playing the actual game is commendable, a holistic view is needed to achieve a well-rounded game.
To play good golf, you have to get down past the three areas of:
- fitness,
- practice,
- and etiquette.
Fitness
- Keeping one?s body and mind in shape is a key element to becoming a good, if not great, golfer. Looking after your body and making sure it?s in shape not only gets you to perform better on the course, it also ensures you that you can enjoy golf even well into your years.
- Achieve bodily fitness by eating right and exercising regularly. Maintain cardiovascular fitness and muscle tone that suits the game of golf. Some indicators of physical fitness are your blood pressure...

Yes, as much as we'd like the road to fitness to be straight, smooth, and uninterrupted, it's a fact of like that you're going to bump into a few obstacles along the way.
Last time we looked at Roadblocks 1-3 and how to blast them out of your way on the road to success. In today's article (Part 2) we'll look at the next three in some detail. I'll cover the rest as we move through his 6-part series.
Success Roadblock Number Four: Inadequate Motivation ? You Don't Have Clear & Compelling Reasons To Succeed
As a success coach, I can tell you that very few people understand the necessity for having compelling reasons to power them toward their goals. If you don't have sufficiently strong motivations to overcome the inertia of the status quo, then you're either going to stay right where you are or end up right back where you are. It's really just that simple.

How to Achieve Lifelong Fitness Success in Your Home or Office
by: Joey Atlas
Every week countless numbers of people rededicate themselves to starting a new diet and exercise program, only to find that they have fallen off their program by the end of the following week. This scenario plays out all too often especially for people who are attempting to keep their fitness program based at home or the office.
The problem here is not where the program is being attempted, but the fact that there actually is no program to follow. No matter what the endeavor, when one sets out to accomplish something without a well thought out plan or a ?roadmap?, the chances for success are slim to none. Health and fitness programs are a prime example of this.
Without a fitness plan, there is no guidance, accountability or direction. Therefore most actions are random and unfocused. This creates an element of uncertainty where one is guessing at what they should...
