What Are Your Goals By Thanksgiving?9 Comments
Believe it or not, Thanksgiving here in the United States is just 2 short months away.
It’s a dangerous time of year as the majority of people overeat and begin to skip their workouts.
So I want to challenge you if I may.
I want you to set some performance goals that you want to accomplish by Thanksgiving.
By performance goal, I don’t mean weight loss goal, like lose 20 pounds.
It should be something like doing 50 consecutive push ups.
Stretch your limits a little bit here…
Here are my performance goals that I will accomplish by Thanksgiving…
100 consecutive push ups
20 consecutive pull ups
Bear crawl the length of a football field without my knees touching the ground
Run a 6 minute mile.
I’ll use the 4-Minute Workouts quite a bit to help increase my strength and endurance and will also be developing some new training protocols.
All of these goals will push me to my limits, epecially the 20 pull ups.
I will make a video of me reaching each goal which will help keep me accountable.
You wanna know what the cool thing is?
By training to reach these performance goals, I will be developing a better body in the process.
So don’t get hung up on weight loss goals.
Increase your performance and a better body will be the natural result.
So what are your performance goals that you can accomplish by Thanksgiving?
Please post them on the Comments section below and keep everyone informed.
This should be fun.
Have an amazing day.
Scott

My goals for November are to:
20+ straight pushups
20+ chin ups (unassisted)
20+ sit ups
Walk 2 miles in 20 minutes
Give the best bellydance recital in our show
Now considering at this time I can barely get past 10 push ups and chin ups and not even 1 situp, it’s a helluva goal. I am working on it though.

Hi Jake,
Yes I’ll probably use that technique but develop my own version of it. Pull ups are my weakness. I will try and shoot a video of how many I can do now by the end of the week, but it’s roughly 8 or 9. I may do chin ups with an underhand grip instead. Not sure yet. Good luck!
