I love having a goal. Something to work towards. A benchmark so that I know what I’ve accomplished something worth celebrating.
And while I love checking things off my To Do List in short order, I also appreciate the value of achieving a long-term goal.
So, with that in mind, for 2016 I’m going to work on a few bigger fitness goals. Over the course of the whole year. Since it can take 30-60 days {researchers argue on this point, though 45 days seems to be a sweet spot many agree on} to really establish new patterns and see change, I’m going to aim to bring on a new goal each quarter.
Fitness Goal #1 for 2016 – Booty
This means including workouts that target the butt/legs/lower half each week. I’m a huge, and long-time, fan of squats, but was so focused on running in 2015 that my weight training sort of fell to the wayside.
This fitness goal doesn’t mean I’m giving up running {or Pilates, or Barre, or Yoga}, it just means that I’m going to give my lower half some much deserved TLC this year as well.
With a recurring spinal injury some moves, as well as heavy weights, are off the table for me unfortunately, but there’s still plenty to do at the gym.
What are some of the moves I’ll be focusing on this year?
- Lunges {Reverse & Walking}
- Step-Ups
- Back Squats
- Jump Squats
- Goblet Squats
- Sumo Squats
- Box Jumps
- Bridges
- Mountain Climbers
- Bulgarian Lunges
- Donkey Kicks
- Glute Kickbacks
