Strategies to Improving Your Fitness Part 3

I'm going to be a little repetitive here. Focus on becoming fit, not on the number of pounds you want to lose.

It's easy to get wrapped up in the notion of losing 25 pounds by exercising, but in reality what happens is that by focusing on the weight loss, you set yourself up to fail in your own mind when you don't reach that goal by a specified date. Celebrate the little wins - like "I did 45 minutes of exercise today" or "look, I have a muscle I've never had before!" Whatever it is celebrate it with gusto, knowing that you are on your way to getting physically fit!
