Step One: Desire

I have the desire to improve my Muscular Endurance

Step Two: Belief

I am already a strong individual.  I believe that if I apply myself and take steps toward improving my Muscular Endurance I can do it.

Step Three: Analyze Where You Are Now

As of now I have Muscular Strength and I am satisfied with that area of my health-related fitness.  I need guidance in knowing exactly what it is I need to do in order to improve my Muscular Endurance.

Step Four: Set Realistic Goals

I will set realistic goals because if I set goals that are unattainable then more than likely I won't go through with meeting my goal because I feel i would never really accomplish it.

Step Five: Write Your Goals in Detail

I will lift 50% of my maximum squat and bench press weight 20 times during my first week of working on obtaining muscular endurance.  Each week I will increase my max percentage by ten percent and reduce 4 reps.  At the end of the 6 weeks I should be able to lift 50% of my max twice as much as I could when I started.

Step Six: List the Benefits

The benefits of having Muscular Endurance include being more energized, having a nice shape and muscular tone, I won't fatigue easily when lifting weights, and I will have a higher self-esteem.

Step Seven: List the Obstacles

Time management my be an obstacle.

Step Eight: Identify the Knowledge You Will Need

I will need to know my max and the percentages of my max.

Week One: 50% of max (4 sets of 20)
Week Two: 60% of max (4 sets of 16)
Week Three: 70% of max (4 sets of 12)
Week Four: 80% of max (4 sets of 8)
Week Five: 90% of max (4 sets of 4)
