It takes a lot of practice to become an Olympic athlete, and maybe some inborn talent. But you can always work to improve your personal best in whatever activity you choose for fitness.

• Do you play basketball? See how many freethrows can you shoot in a minute – then challenge yourself to increase that number.
• Do you like to run? Can you add another block or 1/10th of a mile in the same time?
• Do you swim? Challenge yourself in your favorite stroke, and your least favorite stroke.
• Hula hoop? Add five minutes.
• Lift weights? Try adding 10% to the weight, or adding another set.

Keep a record of your fitness accomplishments – just a note on your calendar will remind you that you are an athlete!
