Peter Drucker was a high priced management consultant to organizations and author of many books on planning and getting the job done in business. I had the pleasure of attending two of his seminars, complements of the organization I was employed by, to provide us with the best education on managing our objectives. ( we were responsble for postive results on our objectives)

Planning can be as simple as set of objectives laid out in your daily planner, 3x5 card, white board or it can be a complex time line project management program, taking days to prepare. However, without a plan laid out, it is unlikely you will fulfill your job assignment efficiently, if at all.

When it comes to fitness, going into the gym without a plan is like going to the prom naked, you got there, but you got little nothing else. A simple plan can be; set the days you will be training each week, allot the time each training day, the type of exercise you will be doing, and how much time spent on that exercise. Now that is what the vast majority of club members do to fulfill their fitness objectives. It's alright, but you can't expect to stick with this program unless there is more defined objectives and feed back systems to insure progress.

You don't need a real complex, mind draining system, like a 52 week periodzation plan the the so called professionals use. That is too hard to follow and may even lead to over training, if you can't keep up. However, you do need to at least write down some basic training plan of what kind of work load you will on doing each session, what kind of fitness level you expect from that training and at the completion of each session, note what was accomplished in a training log. Then review the training log weekly and adjust the work load based on the feed back from previous training. That way you can keep on track and at the some time have a work in progress system that can be adjusted based on growth and life style changes. Sounds simple, but few ever do this type of planning, and therefore get the results that lead to little progress.
