5 Ways to Get More out of Your Fitness
Classes
A good friend of mine always says
February is the time of year when
amnesia runs rampant.
She “forgets” that she isn’t supposed
to have that extra piece of cake. And
the concept of working out on a daily
basis has completely slipped her mind.
But somehow she has problem
remembering what time her favorite TV show comes on.
If you’re anything like her, you might think a new and improved
you is something that, once again, won’t take place until next
year.
But, it’s not too late to change 2012 into your best year yet. So
try these 5 tips to get more out of your fitness classes.
• Set goals. Be creative in visualizing what can be. Don’t rely on
the past to determine the future. Banish those limiting thoughts
“I don’t have enough time” or “I can’t possibly”. Sure you might
not be able to do the Flying Insect pose within your first two
weeks of yoga class, but set realistic goals that you can reach
and feel proud when you’ve accomplished them.
• Create a really big vision of your ideal life. Be specific. Write it
down. Make sure you set it in the future. Make your vision
concise with all of the major domains of your life included. Your
vision should make you excited when you read it. Use the present

tense and write it as though it is. Whether you want to lose 15
pounds or run a marathon 6 months from now, know what it is!
• Make sure you are balanced. Your vision needs to include all of
the major areas of your life: personal, health, professional,
financial, spiritual. Create your vision and set goals to include
everything you want in life. Otherwise you’ll feel out of balance
and unfulfilled.
Sure yoga is fun, but if you hate your job, you’re still going to be
miserable in that area. Focusing on one goal at a time is the best
way to achieve what you want, but don’t forget the other avenues
that have a huge impact on your overall happiness.
• Be really, really audacious. Think big and boldly. Set goals that
are a stretch and require you to be a little uncomfortable. It’s
your life. You want it to be fulfilling, exciting and energizing. So
be audacious and authentic in visualizing your future. Whether
that’s signing up for a fitness program that you never saw
yourself taking or pushing yourself to the extra limit in your
fitness classes, you’ll be glad you did.
• Make sure you can measure it. Goals and vision without a time
line or a measure of completion is procrastination waiting to
happen. Make sure that you set a “by when date”.
