Weight Training Blog #4 Halfway Point

We are at the halfway point in our four week program. I want you to stay focused and see this thing through so that you can reach your goals. What end result of your program can you focus on to help you stay motivated and get your workouts done each day you are in class?

For example, I have a 5k race coming up in a couple of weeks that keeps me motivated to do my runs even on day's that I don't want to. Find one thing you can use to keep you motivated and working hard towards your goal and list it for this weeks blog.

  5. With summer and what is to be the last track meet of the season for me, I need to strengthen my muscles and tone them so I am able to look nice while also being able to run fast. Therefore my end goal is to be able to drop time in my track events, increase my maxes, and finally to be relatively toned.

  37. Ever since the start of weight training, and especially now, I have been wanting to get stronger and thinner by summer vacation time. Knowing myself, I will slack off over the summer, so I want to get in shape now. What is motivating me is the fact that I would feel good and possibly look good over the summer if I do the hard stuff now.

  50. I started lifting with the goal of becoming stronger and improve in martial arts. This is still one of my goals, but getting better at volleyball and looking better are also coming into play. It really makes me mad when the good-for-nothing dirtbag guy gets the girl, just 'cause he looks "better."

  51. I have been talking to a few college soccer coaches and one mentioned that they are very interested in the fitness level of all recruits. She told me that i should work to have better fitness and stay focused on my trainings as well as work on the side on my own. Because i will be attending 2 college camps this summer I would like to be as fit as i can be once i get there.

  68. i have never met anyone as self-concious as I. So for me, whats always motivated me and what will always keep me motivated is for my mind to tell me that i cant do it, but then my body to prove it wrong. my goal is a daily goal. which resets every time I step in the weight room: do the impossible. do what my mind says i cant. at the end of the day, thats the only thing i must do.

  71. A large goal for me is to gain more shoulder muscle. In basketball, my shot is kind of weak because I don't have good shoulders, so if I gain more muscle there, then my shot will get better and I'll become a better player in general.

  72. My motivation is to build lots of muscle so it my benifet in my sport. For example doing workouts such as squats will build my quads so I can have a harder shot in soccer and also help me become faster. I will also be able to out body bigger players by packing on lots of upper body muscle.
