Ready, set, go!

Resolutions, schmesolutions.  If you hope to succeed in reaching your personal Pilates and wellness goals in 2010, make sure they are S.M.A.R.T.!

S – Specific  Whether it’s being able to do a full Roll Up, increasing your hamstring flexibility, or decreasing lower back pain, be clear about your goals.  Share them with your instructor so they can program based on your needs!

M- Measurable  Like anything worthwhile, reaching your Pilates goals will require continued commitment. Take it one step at a time, and use the building blocks provided during your sessions to measure your success along the way. 

A- Attainable  If you’re new to Pilates, don’t expect to perform Teasers on the Reformer within your first month of training!  Focus on smaller goals, like truly understanding the principles, and how to apply them as you move forward in your practice. 

R- Reasonable  Stay positive, but try not to get overzealous.  Give yourself a pat on the back for the progress that you do make.  

T- Timely  Give yourself a definitive amount of time to reach your goals.  The shorter the time allotted, the more likely you are to achieve your goals. 

Statistics show that only 17% of people keep their New Year’s Resolutions.  Set yourself up for success, not failure, by following the S.M.A.R.T. guidelines.  One step at a time…

Good luck to you!
