ACHIEVING YOUR FITNESS GOALS
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary
goal for exercising on your treadmill to lose weight? Improve muscle? Burn stress? Prepare for the spring
racing schedule? Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program.
Below are some common exercise goals:
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in
writing. The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long
term, divide them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the imme-
diate motivation benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your treadmill console provides you
with several readouts that can be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.
Time is the most important and useful of test functions.
KEEPING AN EXERCISE DAIRY
