A personal fitness plan is a special type of personal workout or dieting program that focuses on improving certain areas in your body, such as your weight. It is a very easy thing to plan and do, and if you follow the simple steps below, you will have your very own personal fitness plan organized in no time at all!

    Assess your current fitness. You probably have at least some idea of how fit you are. By doing this, you can help understand which areas you need to improve in. You might want to ask yourself the following questions:
    • How long it takes me to walk 1 mile? (1.6 kilometers)
    • How many push-ups can I do in 1 minute? (60 seconds)
    • How far can I reach forward while seated on the floor with my legs in front of me?
    • What is my waist circumference when measured around my bare abdomen above my hipbone?
    • What is my body mass index?

    Figure out your fitness goals. Would you like to lose weight? Would you like to eat a more balanced diet? Should you start building some muscle? Having motivation, optimism, and a clear mind that is open to trying new things can really help you push yourself to gauge your goals and make them even bigger and more achievable.

    Create a special, personal routine with each activity that you would like to try. If you are aiming to lose weight, you might want to try aerobics, cardio workouts, or strength training. If you want to eat a better, more balanced diet, you might want to try eating more healthy foods, such as grain, meat, dairy, and fruit. Organizing a personal routine with your goals, and limits will really help you improve.

    Take your time. Don't worry about how quick you can finish or if you can work harder than someone else. If you're just beginning to exercise, start with some caution. If you have an injury or a serious medical condition, be sure to consult your therapist or doctor and ask them if you can work out a special plan that works just right for you.

    Try to squeeze a little more exercise into your everyday life. it will really help you set higher goals in your fitness plan. Here are some examples below.
    • If you live in an apartment building, take the stairs instead of the elevator. When you walk, your thigh muscles, leg muscles, and feet muscles slowly but surely improve.
    • Go for a run. When you run, your heart pumps blood, prevents certain diseases, and generally gives you a nice, healthy feeling inside.
    • Get up early and do a workout. In the morning, your body is just waking up as well as you. What better way to keep it pumped and healthy than doing a workout? You can buy workout DVDs, check on your TV for some options, or do your very own round of stretches in a wide spot.

    Plan on trying different activities. Different activities can make you healthier and even more eager to exercise. Plan to switch from activity to activity every week. You probably want to try some that emphasize different parts of your body, such as biking, swimming, jogging, or strength training. Again, these activities will push you to try new things and set higher goals for your personal fitness plan.

    Allow some time to recover and rest a little. Many people start exercising with extremely high goals, which lead them to work out too long, and eventually give up. Plan some time between your workout sessions for your body to rest and recover, so you won't end up giving up and hurting your joints or muscles.

  • Put your personal fitness plan down on paper. A plan that is written out may encourage you to set bigger goals and stay on full track.
  • If you want, you can get a personal trainer. Personal trainers are the special people who will help you push yourself a little harder and set bigger, more achievable goals.


  • Never push yourself too hard. Doing so can cause serious injury, pain in the muscles or joints, and an exhausted feeling that makes you feel ready to give up. Instead, take small steps and work a little harder each day to improve.
