Only Having Weight Loss-Related Goals
Only Having Weight Loss-Related Goals "Shift your focus away from the scale. The number on the scale is not a direct representation of an improvement in health," says Yang. "Having weight loss-related goals can oftentimes lead to a preoccupation with the number on the scale and an unhealthy relationship with your body. Instead, create fitness goals that empower your mind, body and spirit, like being able to run two miles on the treadmill by the end of the month, or being able to do three sets of 15 pushups on your feet instead of your knees."

Picking goals that are true barometers of cardiovascular health and strength is a more empowering way to validate an increase in fitness levels.
