I love New Year's Resolutions. I think they are inspiring and exciting and they can promote such healthy lifestyle changes.
My ultimate everyday goal that I am constantly striving for is happiness. It's most certainly not all about what my body looks like. It has everything to do with how I feel. I challenge you to set some fitness-related goals this year that have nothing to do with wanting to change the way your body looks. You are more than your weight or body fat percentage.
A majority of my fitness-related goals have to do with STRENGTH. Whenever you're setting a fitness goal at any point throughout the year, make them about performance.
Squat: 225 x 1
Squats: 135 x 8 (easy)
Bench: 135 x 8
Bench: 175 x 1
Dips: 10 bodyweight reps
Deadlifts: 225 x 1
OHP: 100 x 1
Rows: 135 x 8
Pull-Ups: 10 each grip
The rest of my fitness-related goals for the year are about daily habits. These are things I simply want to get better at.
Mobility: 3 10-minute sessions a week
1-minute daily plank
12 daily push-ups
Do the splits
Hold a handstand
None of the above goals have anything to do with directly wanting to change the way my body looks. They're all performance-based and they're coming from a place of wanting to get stronger and improve my skill in the gym. The thing is, if you focus on performance-based goals, the aesthetic piece will follow as a byproduct.
Tell me your 2022 goals!
