The Five Steps

At the studio, we're taught the five steps to achieving your goals. Here they are:

1. Set it
2. Plan it
3. Check it
4. Fix it
5. Achieve it!

Everyone here has set their goal, and bravely posted it. Excellent! Step two is to plan a path to reach that goal.

Your plan should be realistic, yet challenging; just like your goal. Here's my plan:

• Wake up 15-30 minutes earlier every weekday, do 50 pushups, *75-150 crunches.
• 2 hour endurance practice every Sunday at 8am.
• Go to class 3-4 times a week. Includes:
  
• 2 regular classes,
  
• 2 classes focusing on specific technique & forms practice.

*75 regular crunches, or 75 side crunches each side. Alternating daily.

This morning I started the plan, however I did not get out of bed early, hesitated during my pushups, and only did 75 crunches. It was still a success, in spite of these shortcomings. I know pushing these numbers won't be the hard part. The hard part will be getting out of bed and doing it.

OK people, what's your plan?
