Workout Program: Total-Body Transformation
It's the perfect time to commit to making this your fittest, healthiest year yet—and we have just the guy to motivate you. Chris Powell, the trainer of ABC's hit show Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition has mapped out an exclusive shape-up plan that guarantees lasting results.
Goals are key—they're what keep you going when things start to suck. Use these five "GET SMART" principles to set yours.
SPECIFIC Set out to just "be healthy" and you're selling yourself short. Vague goals give people too much leeway and can lower their motivation to push themselves, says Powell. So be precise and say, for example, that you want to lower your body fat by 10 percent or be able to run a 10-K.
MEASURABLE You should be able to gauge and quantify your progress, both in the short-term and long-term. Set micro (weekly) and macro (monthly) goals to keep yourself on track. Read more...
