Finding a Goal Workout
Find a Goal workout
Specific goal workouts have always been a part of my workout plan. Throughout my years of running, I have stumbled upon many different kinds of “mini” goals. I invent a challenge and spend a month or two trying to achieve it.
Once I had a mile and a quarter stretch of road that I “raced” weekly. Over a period of about 2 months I dropped 30 seconds from my initial attempt. Another time I used a 2.5 mile loop. One summer I challenged myself to a particularly difficult uphill bike ride that I tried to finish in less than 60 minutes. It took me 4 attempts, but I finally did it.
Beginners could monitor steps per day measured with a pedometer, or timed walks around a specific distance. How long does it take you to burn 100 calories on the rower? Try it once, and then work on getting that time down. Remember, you should only test yourself once or at most twice a week. Work harder and guess what happens? Your fitness improves and your weight will eventually start to drop.
