Dear Fitness Seekers,
I hope that you all are able to stick to your weight management goals for the next 3 months. This will bring you right up to Spring. The weather will break soon and it will be easier for you to get out and hit the roads especially for all of us that live in the north to your bike and running shoes soon.
Until this weather breaks in the north - this is a great time to get to the pool while the weather is still cold. You can start to increase your aerobic and anaerobic base both in the pool. So dig out those goggles and suits, zoomers, swim paddles and pull-boys to increase some upper body strength and increase lung capacity with a great winter pool training regimen. You can find many good swim workouts at swim.com or USAswimming.com to help progress your transformation leading into spring and help keep off a few of those winter/holiday pounds that we all probably have put on this past winter and holiday season.
Think positive and write down those goals that you want to achieve for 2011 whether that be a 3-Day Cancer Survivor Walk, 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, marathon, Sprint, Olympic, or Ironman distance triathlons, Master swim meet pool or open water races. Go on-line, look at the local running store, or sign up for a major event and write it down and put it on the frig, car dash, dresser, gym bag, Homepage, Desktop motivation, Cell phone frontage and ask a friend to join you as a support system to keep the energy going when you don't want to train or ramp up the mileage/yardage.
Keep Up The Energy,
Jonathan Schauss, PT, CSCS
