I actually didn’t join the gym to lose weight or set goals, I joined because I’ve been in the mood to work out at a gym for months and because I’m nosy to see what it does to my body and soul.
While talking to my trainer I’ve been asked the question “why did you join the gym”, and after thinking about that question my answer was “to get a firm body and to gain muslces”.
So now, after I’ve completed my second week at the gym, I thought of a goal #1, a milestone if you want, which would be:
Goal #1: get a bikini figure for vacation
Definition: a belly which is nice and flat
Duration: six weeks
My vacation at the beach starts on July 8th, so it’s a realistic goal to lose some of that body fat, gain some muscles and become fitter in two months. So, as of today I still have six weeks to reach that goal.
My goals for each week:
- work out at least 3 times during the week
- work out 1 or 2 times on the weekend
- cut down on sweets
- on sundays, go to the gym in the morning before (the big) breakfast
- don’t pig out on weekends
- ride the bike to work as often as possible
- get informed about interval training and pre-/post-workout foods
- in the strength circuit, increase weight every week or every two weeks
- at the gym after a working day, try to lose all the calories I’ve eaten up until the workout
