Are Your Fitness Goals Realistic?

Are you taking on an exercise plan you can really live with? Take this self-assessment quiz to find out.

1

It's time for your weekly weigh-in, so you step on the scale. What's your reaction to what it reads?

"Yes! One more successful week — slow but steady."
"That's it?! But I went for a walk on Tuesday!"
"Hmm. A pound lost is OK, but next week I have to lose more.

2

For years you've wanted to start running, and today you're actually going to give it a go. How do you feel?

Pumped! This is the first day of a whole new me!
Excited but calm. I'm going to take this nice and easy.
Nervous. I wonder if I'll get back in time to watch The Biggest Loser?

3

You see a picture of a supermodel with super-tight abs. 'If only I looked like that' you say. What do you do?

Nothing. I was born with this body, so I'd better start learning to live with it.
Vow to do 100 crunches before bed, every night, no excuses.
Put the picture in my gym bag, so it motivates me when I go for a long walk or run. First things first: I have to get this weight off!

4

You're shopping online for some good exercise DVDs. What are you must likely to break out your credit card for?

A routine that guarantees fast results.
None of them. I can walk around the block if I really want to exercise.
Something that lets me start off as a beginner, then move up when I'm ready. I'm looking for a long-term investment!

5

Which mantra is most applicable when it comes to you and exercise?

Patience is a virtue.
Forgive and forget.
Go for the gold.

6

You're at your new gym, in the first spinning class you've ever taken. The instructor walks in and asks if there are any beginners in the room. What do you do?

Keep my mouth shut! I don't want anyone to think I don't know what I'm doing.
Sheepishly raise my hand and make a loud joke about how I'll probably fall off the bike.
Smile at her — she already knows I'm new because I pulled her aside before class started.

7

Your plan to get fit includes:

Eating right.
Eating right and exercising.
Exercising.

8

You decide to join your best friend on a jog, but she's fast and you have a hard time keeping up. What do you do?

Run! If it doesn't hurt, it doesn't work, right?
Slow my pace and tell her I'll meet up with her. Someday I'll be able to match her speed!
Give up and go home.
