4 more months to end of 2007, where are you in your new year resolutions?

the year is soon coming to an end. i have spoken to many of you regarding your goals.
just a reminder to evaluate them.

some pointers;
1. to lose 1 kg, you need to burn 7700 calories. and if each session you burn 1000 calories, you will need 8 sessions and that is providing you hold everything else constant. no snacking extra after workout. with the celebratory dinner after, you need to do extra to make up for additional.

2. an extra chicken rice meal or wanton mee dry can increase your intake by 900 calories. so chose wisely! not nice don't eat. there are always better ones 10 mins drive away.

3. run slow and run fast, work done is the same if distance the same but the body will perceive it differently. you get more benefits from running faster. and your heart in the long run will thank you. you will get more after exercise burning effect from hard workout.

4. run hard or run easy, your knees and ankle still carry the same load and suffer the same total amount of stress.

so where are you now? fitness, injury and health?
