One reason people drop out of exercise programmes is that they don’t have a focus.  Having a focus provides motivation and leads to a higher level of commitment.  Set yourself a SMART goal:-

S = Specific (be specific about what you want to achieve, eg walk 2 miles in 30 mins in 3 months time)

M = Measurable (our goal is measureable as we have a distance and a time that we want to achieve it in)

A = Achievable (assuming that currently we are walking 2 miles in approx. 32 mins I would consider that a sensible achievable target)

R = Recorded (write it down - that way you are more likley to commit).  ‘R’ also stands for Realistic (it would not be realistic to aim to reduce your time by 10 minutes in 3 months).

T = Timed (we have set 3 months to achieve our goal so we have a time limit).

Now what next?  You need to set yourself a schedule so that you can work towards that goal.  Also, every so often walk the two miles and time yourself so see how close you are getting to your target.

What happens when you achieve your goal, esp. if you achieve it before the set time limit?  Good question - you set another goal.  Simple huh.
