It is very important to highlight the difference, there is no goal here, no specific mileage to run, no kg’s of weight to lose. A process is a set of activity that needs to be performed on a regular schedule and followed as close as possible. In the event that a schedule is missed, then it needs to be continued without giving up or making excuses.

The process here is basically, three hikes or similar activities per week. Similar activities can be body weight training performed at home, or in the public playground. Solo hikes can be done in near Sri Bintang or slightly further in Bukit Gasing. Group hikes will be anywhere chosen by friends/meetup groups.

This process as described above need to be believed and committed to, in order to build a routine and a mind body connection. This is critical, as goals are prone to failure and even if you make progress it can still feel like failure (aww, 3kg instead of 5kg lost). Do not even name this as a new year resolution.

Progress will be checked in a month for noticeable body changes. Remember it is fine even if you do not lose an inch off your waist, it could be due to diet. Arm strength needs to be recorded; duration of bar hanging, numbers of assisted push ups. Reps need to be increased to accommodate body adaptation.

Do all these and you will be successful.
