What is your fitness goal for 2014?

We have all heard the saying "if you always do what you always did, then you will always get what you always got."

Did you achieve success in 2013?
Did you then reflect on your season and how do you plan to make necessary changes so you are successful in 2014?
Do you need more balance?
More or less training?
Fine tune your nutrition?
Spend more time with your family?
Focus on more "me" time?

If you have not done so, now is the time to sit down and answer the following questions:

• What do you enjoy about your Health, Wellness and Fitness (topics include nutrition, stress management  activity, massage therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture, Pilates  endurance, core strength, balance, flexibility and speed)?
• What would you change about your Health, Wellness and Fitness?
• What are you goals for the next 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 3 years and 5 years?
• How do you plan to reach your goals?

Your answers often dictate how you plan to transition into winter. Maybe you took some time off to let your body rest and are ready to jump into the New Year. Maybe you are just starting a more healthy and active lifestyle and want to stay more active in 2013.
