_________________________________________________

How the Series will work.

At the beginning of each month
  • Highlight Mini Goal
  • Provide information on the area addressed by the goal 
  • Identify the medium through which the goal will be achieved (ie specific program, completing a challenge)
  • Start/Pre Measurement
At the end of each month, I'll do a check-in/recap to cover
  • Goal Success (Progress)
  • Obstacles/Hurdles that may have arisen/Detours
  • End/Post Measurement
  • Other

I do hope that you opt to come along on this journey. Whether you have had the exact, similar or not nearly the same experience.  The goal is your own, and the breakdown can be customized to fit your own personal situation (eg To maintain/reduce body mass or To Tone or To increase Strength or  to Improve Overall Health).
......................................................................................

The first check-in will be on February 6TH.  

See you then!
