<h3><b>So 2018 is here and you’re left wondering where the hell 2017 went…?</b></h3>
Did you make any new year resolutions for 2018?

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you successfully achieve last years resolution?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you feel you could have done more in 2017?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Personally, I have always wondered why people wait for Dec 31st to create change when changes can be made all year, probably to better effect too!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Would 1% be a lot to ask of yourself?</span>

<h3><b>What Could You Do 1% Better Today? </b></h3>
&nbsp;

<a href="http://kaizen-project.co.uk/events/the-kaizen-project/"><b>Kaizen</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a Japanese term meaning </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Continual Improvement </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and I believe this is a great concept to keep in mind when settings new year resolutions or goals at any time of year, particularly big goals. Let me give you one example;</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now I am never going to be a competitive Olympic lifter, it is just not something that appeals or motivates me, but anyone who has attempted a snatch or clean will appreciate it is not an exercise or movement that immediately comes naturally nor quickly. The technical aspect is far too complex and inevitably requires numerous adjustments to each segment of the movement that can only be done over time. The simple laws of proprioception, gravity &amp; load in this high-speed movement require such precision to avoid failure that it would be impossible to nail it in a few weeks let alone one or two sessions. There is so much to learn and much of it will and should eventually become subconscious, for example;</span>

&nbsp;
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set up</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hook grip</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foot position</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start position </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">First pull</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Second pull</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">High Hang</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Low Hang</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Triple extension</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The drop under the bar</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Locking out the arms</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hitting the receive position </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rising out of the bottom position </span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maintaining the overhead or front rack position to complete the ascent</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Throwing the bar so it doesn’t fall on you or anyone else!</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However small goals can encourage every session in the gym, even if it is just small tweaks to each part of the movement. Consistency is key to anything and over time things really do add up. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking the stairs instead of the lift, parking at the back of the car park furthest away from the door so you have further to walk, eating just one piece of chocolate instead of the whole 200g bar, having smaller glasses of wine, walking to the shop instead of driving, meditating for 10 minutes is better than not at all….you know what I am talking about, right?!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, do you remember in our basic PT or Massage training the idea of SMART GOALS is often introduced to help us to help our clients when goal setting?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Small, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely goals. This concept fits perfectly with The Kaizen Project, however, the question is...</span>
