Goals (long- and short-term)

[tessone]

The achievements thread got me to thinking: what kinds of goals (either short-term or long-term) do you have in martial arts and fitness in general?

To answer my own question:

 

My short-term goals are:

• Improve overall cardio-vascular fitness to the point where I'm not getting winded during a workout at the dojang
  
• Get my yellow belt by the end of the school year
  
• Gain some definition and better muscle tone

 

My long-term goals are:

• Gain a black belt in Kuk Sool Won. The very-long-term goal in sight would be to never stop training and someday become a Kwang Jang Nim.
  
• Improve flexibility (test: be able to do the splits!)
  
• Eat healthier to lose fat and gain weight in muscle
  
• Learn Korean

there was a thread like this before, but anywho.

 

I have lots of goals, but my main one would be

 

short term- lose some pounds, get faster, and maybe start up another art. also to spend more time with my dog.

 

long term-get all A's from next year(8th) to 12th grade, and all A's after that... get a good job.

Short Term (By end of this year)

 

Bring sitting heart rate down to 50 BPM

 

# of Chinups

 

# of Pullups

 

Certain weight/reps on Benchpress

 

Gain weight - 67kg is the target (59-60 at the moment)

 

Long term would take too long to write out.

 

By the way a thread on this was posted not long ago, - http://www.karateforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=2453&forum=2&22

Short term: Heal (pulled hammy) and be flexible. And heal enough so I don't have to postpone my green belt test again (and pass )

 

Long term: Be the best martial artist I can be, and teach MA.

Short Term: Heal.... (same injury! pulled hamstring) and do well at my demo on saturday with my redesigned form. Also, I would like to compete more.

 

Long Term: Train in MA for the rest of my life....travel to Asia....learn Japanese, Cantonese, and Mandarin. (Im gonna be busy!) Live a long and happy life with a career that I'll enjoy.
