Fitness tools and calculators

One of the most important things we do with our clients is periodic fitness assessments.

Fitness assessments are important because it gives you a snapshot of your fitness level in each of the components of fitness (cardio, muscular, flexibility & proper body composition).

From there, it's very easy to set SMART goals (specific, measurable, realistic, timely) and work toward getting healthy and fit.

Think of it this way: if you don't know where you're at now, you don't know where you need to go.

Here is a link to the ACE Fitness website that has several wonderful tools and calculations for those of you who aren't working with a trainer.

Fitness Tools & Calculations

I encourage you to check out the website, use some of the tools to find out some info about your fitness, and then set some goals to work toward.

Enjoy, and as always, we're here if you need a little extra guidance.

Believe in yourself

We work with a lot of beginners at OnTrack Fitness.  Beginners who take BIG leaps of faith to try something new, like a triathlon or half marathon or even just becoming an active person when they've been inactive their entire lives.  

These people are cool people.

Why?  

Picture this:  You haven't gotten on a bike in 10 years.  You've never really swam, except splashing around in a pool when you were a kid.  Then someone tells you you're going to enter into an event that you must swim (not splash), bike AND run...and it's a race.  And that sure, it's doable.

Or how about this.  Three months ago, you weren't even think about becoming a runner.  Now, you're working with a group training to run 13.1 miles.

What would you say about this?  These folks said "Yeah, ok.  Let's go for it."

These awesome people didn't let what they WERE dictate what they believed they could be.  

Most weren't sure if they could, but they went for it anyway.  Even if they didn't know all the details when they started, they listened & learned.  Even if they'd been on a loop of exercising - not exercising for years, they committed to our program anyway.


These people were just like you.  No super powers. 

My question to you:  Do you believe?  Do you believe you can do some things & not others?  Why?

You've got to start BELIEVING you can do it.  Believe you can make a change in yourself.  

Believe you can, because you know what - you can!  Stop saying 'I'm not that kind of a person' or 'I've tried it before & it didn't work' or 'I've never been athletic.'  

What's any of that got to do with it?  Set a goal, learn what you need to do to achieve it, get help if you need it and get it done.  You can do this!

Share with us your story.  We want to hear how you went for it and made a change.  

Or, if you're ready and need some help, let us know.  emily@ontrackfitness.net
