When creating this goals inventory, ask yourself the following questions:

What is my ultimate goal? Be as specific and realistic as possible. For example - "I want to learn ho

to correctly perform basic exercises, lose 10 pounds of fat, and run 2 miles without stopping to catch my breath".

What are my short term goals? Be even more realistic here, and focus on the month to month timeframe. Perhaps it woul
