Small Steps

Have a big goal, and realize you have a big goal? Big goals are often overwhelming, and you have to readjust your mindset and focus on a small goal instead, suggests Madison Chase Fitness. When you focus on a small goal, you can stay more motivated than if you focus on the bigger picture. A beginning program they came up with looks like this:

Level A

Step 1: Begin by setting realistic fitness goals. (2 pounds per week)

Step 2: Find a partner who will help you meet your fitness goals. (A
positive friend, co-worker, boyfriend/ girlfriend, or spouse.

Step 3: Establish a reward that both of you are interested in.

Step 4: Set a realistic time frame to achieve your goals

Step 5: Come up with your program: (Walking 2 times per day for 30
minutes)

Step 6: Increase your fruits and vegetables and decrease your
sugar, sodium, cheese, fried foods, and juices.

Step 7: Get Started.

I think this is a great plan! It has small goals, changes in nutrition, changes in lifestyle habits, and accountability. It's very basic, but the basics are everything. For more detail visit the article.
