P90X Goal Setting- What are Your Goals When Starting P90X?
P90X goal setting and why it’s important. Actually, it doesn’t matter what work out regiment you are about the start because the same rules apply. You have to set some goals but even before you set your goals you have to realize where you are starting from. Just stepping on the scale will not cut it and the scale is not a very good way to measure your progress. It is a way to measure some progress depending on your goals but it is not the only way.
First thing you have to do is take your before pictures. In case you missed it here is how to take your before and after pictures before P90X. Next, you have to take your measurements. Here is how to take your measurements before starting P90X. Once you have done these two things you will know where you are starting and you will be able to see it in pictures and in inches.
Now you can set some realistic goals. If this is your first round of P90X a realistic goal just might be to finish the program period. Excellent goal and it is a tough one. Maybe your goal is to stick to the P90X nutrition plan for the full 90 days of P90X. This is also a tough goal. Maybe you would like to lose some inches in your waist, arms or thighs? Maybe you want to gain some mass with P90X? Maybe you just want to lose some weight with P90X?
If some of these goals sound good to you then you are off on the right foot because you have took the step to set some goals. Writing down your goals will also help so you can look at them when you need to. Believe it or not but looking at your goals on paper is a great motivator.
You should also have some shorter term goals while you are working out. For example, 30lbs and 8 reps or 35 lbs and 10 reps. 30 push ups or 45 push ups. You get the idea. Since you will be writing all of this down on your P90X work out sheets it will be easy to up your goals the following week and then again the next week.
Doing all of the above things will set you up for success with your P90X work outs and P90X will set you up to be fit and healthy for the rest of your life.
So let’s recap.
1. Take your before pictures.
2. Take your before measurements.
3. Set your goals. (Long and short term)
