New Year's Training Challenge: Week 3

We've arrived at one of the crux weeks. Hopefully your dedication has been spot on. Chances are if training regularly is new for you you've missed a few days over this first couple of weeks. This is the reality of starting anything new. Don't be discouraged or be tempted to throw in the towel.

Now is the time to rally!

If you feel like you need to repeat the last week's challenge -  do that.
Your training habit will truly start to take hold if you can get yourself on track this week. Even if you've missed a few days you should be just about over the "crushing sorness" barrier that is common when starting a new training regime. You should also start to feel like you have a bit more energy and begin to see some subtle strength increases. These are all great signs that you are on your way to a lasting change. Take a few minutes to evaluate what has caused you to miss the workouts you have so far and try to find some solutions.

Have you over-committed? Dial it back a bit to make sure you can meet your expectations.
Has the training time you selected not worked out? Shift your workout time or split it up so you spread yourself over a couple of lunch hours and a couple of evenings as opposed to sacrificing all of them.

What I'm saying is that now is the time to make the little modifications that make the difference between success and failure. Re-visit the "8 Tips to Achieving Your Fitness Goals in 2009"  or Bill Sonnemaker's "Resolutions for a Lifetime" article and see if there is anything that you could implement that will help you.

The bottom line is to have a look in the mirror this morning and ask yourself "How am I going to get it done today?" Then focus on the solution - not the problem.

Good luck with this week's training challenge! Smile
