The Challenge – Creating a Physical Fitness Plan

The Challenge:

Keeping a fast paced life can be very taxing on your body. By design, this website has focused on challenges for your mind but it is equally important to develop a plan to remain physically fit. Eating right, exercising, meditation, etc. should all be a part of that plan.  For this challenge, create your physical fitness plan.

This task is worth 25-points on your scorecards.

Thought Provoking Questions:

How are you going to keep yourself committed to the plan?

What hurdles will you have to overcome to implement your plan?

The Lesson:

The toughest part of a physical fitness plan is remaining committed to it. If you have not done anything physically for a long time, it will take several weeks to feel the difference in your level of energy. In those first few weeks, you will have to consciously push yourself to implement your plan. You’ll have to fight the urge to relax versus exercise or eat a cheeseburger versus a salad.  Stick to it and you won’t regret it.

What you’ll soon find is that you will have greater energy throughout your day, you’ll sleep better through the night and the pace in which you accomplish your goals will be faster. That being said, if you are already very busy, you will have to find the time to implement your plan. This could mean getting up early, getting a babysitter or changing where you eat and grocery shop. For more details on what should be in your plan, check out this article by lifeMOJO. The most important thing is to have fun finding ways to get fit.
