Goal setting...it's the adult equivalent of "what do you want to be when you grow up?" And, a New Year is prime time to be a self-improvement junkie.

'Tis the season and the Holiday Groupies are out in FULL FORCE. You know these people...the kind that put up the Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. Those blessed souls that started their shopping back in June and have a closet full of the wrapping paper with the exact complementary ribbon and card? You may even be a “HG” yourself.

How employing and maintaining physical fitness combines nearly everything it takes to be successful in all areas of life: consistency, structure, self-motivation, overcoming obstacles and just a splash of arrogance.
