In order to get the benefit of this Fitness PlanSecrets training article, unless you have done soalready, it's important that you first read theprevious article where I explained about creating aclear goal using these Fitness Goal Secrets here:http://www.how-to-build-muscle-and-fitness.com/fitness-goal-secrets.html

Fitness Plan Secrets:To follow on from this, you must reverse yourgoals. Don't get me wrong here. I'm notsuggesting you do something drastic here.

What I am saying is that in order to achieve yournew clear goal(s), you must first look at the endresult and then backward plan it. We are going touncover these Fitness plan secrets.

Sound confusing?

Let me show you what I mean --

You have a Clear Goal. Not a vague one, but aclear and definite one. So how do you go aboutachieving it?

Backward Plan It!

In other words, always start with the end in mind.This is your focus through the entire action processfrom now until you achieve that goal. In your case,the end is what you ultimately want to achieve --your Clear Goal and Definite Goal.

Lets reveal your Fitness Plan Secrets, shall we?

Imagine you have just reached your goal. Howdoes it feel? How does it look?

Now lets reminisce here a little:

As you feel that surge of "I did it!" rush through you,look back over time.

What was the last step you achieved directly beforeyou reached your ultimate goal. This is thebeginning of the fitness plan secrets needed tobuild your own plan.

What was it you achieved in that last step?

Write it down.

Now step backwards to that last step, in your mind.What was it that you achieved just before reachingthat second last step? What obstacle did youovercome to get here? Whatever it was.

Write that down too.

Now repeat this process, until you arrive at whereyou are now.

To throw some light on it for you, let me give youan example:

Lets assume you want to add two inches to yourbicep within 16 weeks. Here's how you wouldapply the fitness plan secrets to help you here --

Look at the end result. In this case your bicep istwo inches bigger. Imagine how that feels havingachieved this goal. WOW.

Now imagine you sitting there after finallyachieving this goal, and you think back to all thehard work you did in order to get there. As you lookback, you start off with what you achieved justbefore reaching your goal.

What did you achieve or what obstacle did youovercome directly before your final target?

Lets say you gained half an one and a half inchesto your bicep up to the step just before reachingyour goal. That's your gain from week one to weektwelve.

Now step back into that last step, in your mind'seye. What was it that you achieved just before thestep you are currently on (week 12). Maybe yougained an inch increase in your bicep muscle upto that point.

Notice the pattern. Week sixteen - Goal of twoinches reached. Week twelve - Goal of one and ahalf inches reached. Therefore it stands to reasonthat on week eight, you would have reached a goalof one inch. And on week four, you would haveachieved a goal of half an inch.

Your fitness plan secrets pattern would berevealed. In this case, here's how it would look insimple terms --

Week 16 -Final goal achieved: Two inches onto your biceps

Week 12 -The step before that: One and a half inches ontoyour biceps

Week 8 -The step before that again: One inch onto yourbiceps

Week 4 -The step before that again: Half an inch onto yourbiceps

The sixteen weeks were broken down into smallergoals. Each smaller goal represents a step youmust reach before moving onto the next one. It'simpossible to just go straight to two inches, withoutfirst taking that first step.

You main goal must be broken down, like theexample above, into smaller more easilyachievable steps, working backward from yourmain goal all the way down to the very first step.This is your game plan and is what you shouldfollow consistently and without fail. Then --

Unless you have extremely long flexible legs, if youwant to climb a stairs that has ten steps the onlyway to reach the top step is by taking the step that'sclosest and more easily achievable -- the first step.
