Well for me, I didn't get focused until I got a coach who gave me weekly training plans. Otherwise, I just did what I felt like doing when.

With a coach I have focus on what I need to do each week and I feel accountable for getting it all done. I mean, if I don't do the workouts he gives me, then what am I paying for?

I'm the type where doing self-coaching and making my own training plans was not going to work. There is just so much information out there, it was overwhelming. I just need someone who knows what their doing to tell me what to do. HA!

Good luck in whatever you decided to in the future with your training!
