Find a picture that represents one of your physical fitness goals.

How to do it


Learning the rumba? Walking 30 minutes each day for a week? Hiking up your city's tallest mountain or hill? Whatever your physical fitness goal is for the next two to four weeks, find a photo that represents achieving that goal. It doesn't have to be a photo of you. It could be of a dancer, a walking path, or the panoramic view from a mountain's peak. Put the picture where you'll see it regularly like on your refrigerator or in your wallet.



Why it matters

Sports psychologists have known for decades that "seeing" yourself succeeding at a goal is important to actually succeeding. The picture provides a way for you to "see" the results of achieving a sought-after physical fitness goal and should motivate you to pursue it.



Fun Fact

Your heart pumps 36,000 gallons of blood per day.
