I completely agree with the 5 steps and with the 'why's of getting into shape. For me, staying in shape/getting stronger is very concretely goal-oriented: boxing. I want to get faster, stronger, smarter, tougher for my next fight. And, of course, I have incorporated each of the 5 steps you mentioned: I have my routine which is a program incorporating endurance, skill, weight, and speed training. Being held accountable by someone else and keeping my goals concrete and increasing (this week I do 120 push-ups/day, next week 150, etc.) , helps keep me focused.

I find that a focus really helps keep the intensity and motivation up. My focus is boxing, so every time I think about not running, or slacking off hitting the mitts, or skipping for 4 rounds instead of 5 or even having some gourmet ice cream, or a big piece of cake, I think of my next fight, and suddenly that extra work and that extra food seems small in comparison to my goal. The goal doesn't have to be a sport, but it helps me.

Keep up the good work, Chad!
