Fitness Goals: The Fun Fitness Program Questionnaire

Continuing with our series, which started with fitness goals followed by how to set fitness goals, this fitness program questionnaire is designed to help you develop a fitness plan.

• But first, you need to get a fitness assessment test. A fitness assessment is a series of tests that determine your health and physical fitness. It also checks for medical conditions, lingering injuries or recent surgeries detrimental to your fitness training and to help you choose your fitness training options.

• Checking your fitness is something no questionnaire in the world can do reliably, so get it done or plan to get it at the nearest hospital or gym under the supervision of a certified fitness/health expert.

Assuming that you’ve already had your test, you need to develop your fitness program. Here are some fundamental questions to guide you in planning your fitness program. Make sure you answer them truthfully. Knowing what you want to happen in your fitness plan is important to your success.
