A Quick Way To Great Results In 2009!

Sometimes a bit of a quick review can help re-focus and offer a reality check.

Ask yourself these questions.

What has got you the most results over the past year or two?

What has been the most valuable use of your time?

What have you enjoyed most?

How much 'other stuff' have you been doing because you got distracted, felt you should etc?

Now, take only those most valuable aspects of your training time - assuming you want more of the same great results - and find a way to fit in more of that and less of the rest.

Not to say you need to go so far in one direction that certain qualities get neglected, just prioritise and really get the most out of your training time.

In other words if the 80/20 rule applies to your training - what is that 20% that gets you 80% of the results?

Establish this and you've got a way to save time and yet achieve more.

Personally, i'm going to focus on the heavy and fast lifting as priority no 1.

This will be closely followed up by pad / bag work and high intensity circuits.

It will be interesting as i'm doing the least low to medium level aerobic work i've done in years. This has never been done on purpose but rather was a feature of many of the group fitness classes i was teaching but now do far less of.

Oh and one thing that really helped to keep me on track was an exercise and nutrition diary. Having got out of this habit in the second half of the year i definitely will be reintroducing it.

This makes a big difference for me. Maybe it would for you too?

Keep up your great work,
