YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Most of us recognize the benefit of exercise and the potential improvements
to our general health and well-being. However, few of us fully understand the
physiology of exercise and the best means of achieving our specific exercise
objectives.
In order to get the most out of any exercise program, it is essential to have
an understanding of what your exercise objectives are These may include
reducing or maintaining weight, improving general strength, developing
bulging muscles, improving sporting competitiveness or simply avoiding the
health consequences of a modern sedentary lifestyle. It is important to set a
few different types of objectives. These are divided into:
▪
Immediate Objectives
- weekly
▪
Short Term Objectives
- monthly
▪
Long Term Objectives
- yearly
Your long term objectives are your final objectives, to achieve these, you need
stepping stones which are the short term objectives and immediate objectives.
Objectives need to be:
▪
Specific
- set goals that you would like to achieve by certain dates
▪
Realistic
- do not set a standard too high or motivation will be lost
▪
Flexible
- be prepared for set backs such as injuries and illness
