Setting A Clear Goal When people come to me for training advice, my first questions are always about their fitness goals. What do you want to accomplish? How many pounds of fat do you want to loose? How much muscle do you want to gain? Which muscle groups are you most concerned about? Amazingly, many people have never defined a clear and specific fitness goal.
