Creating an action plan by which to achieve your goals (and then actually following it) is imperative to your success.

· Reflect your goals
· Correct your muscle imbalances
· Be designed for your level of workout experience
· Take into consideration your current lifestyle stressors
· Be time efficient
· Integrate a nutrition program
