goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce 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-
• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts
• Improve Body Shape and Tone- interval workouts, alternate between high and low intensities
• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts
• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing.

them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation
