PAR-Q, First Photos, Start Date
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). Upon starting your program I'll have you fill out a questionnaire to make sure you're ready to rock n roll in the program. At the same time I'll send you an additional questionnaire to fill out to help me build a more personal program for you, we can also just talk to over the phone and get the questions answered to set you up for success.
In addition, you'll take your first set of photos, measurements, and log a start date with a specific time of day to start your program.
Goals with a Timline
To be successful, you are going to need micro and macro goals. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and your final objective goal. The more you niche it down, the better you'll stay focused and motivated throughout the process in changing your lifestyle for a more productive and fulfilled life.
Set dates for when your micro and macro goals are to be completed by, or your goals will just become dreams.
Keep Yourself Motivated
Fill out sticky notes with short term and long term goals, use pictures and motivational quotes, and place the sticky notes on the bathroom mirror, refrigerator, bedside, dash of car, computer, and even daily reminders on your phone. I personally use reminders to go off at certain times of the day that I know I am the weakest. Be honest with yourself and set yourself up for success!
Have someone hold you accountable and share your goals with them. This could be a friend, your spouse, or even your boss at work. Make sure it's someone you would never want to let down.
