New Years resolution. UP YOUR GAME!

I've been steadily going to the gym since the first week of the new year and my eating has not been too horrible, considering that I work at a cupcake shop. At the gym, I've been doing 30 minutes on the elliptical and setting my goal by increments of 10. Definition: when you're at 10 minutes you should be at 1 mile, 100 calories burned AT THE MINIMUM. At the end of 30, you should have 300 calories burned at 3 miles. I do the 5 minute cool down the elliptical automatically puts on after 30, so in reality I do 35 minutes. This is what my goal is for the whole month of January and I will up my time 5 minutes every month. Mind you I'll cut it shorter every now and then to workout abs, arms and such. Another goal set; to be able to do the splits by the end of the year. I'm a horrible stretcher and I'm not as flexible as I probably should be so setting this goal will remind me to stretch! Try to, whatever your goal is, to up it up!!!! Push yourself to reach your minimum, at the very least!
