Practice makes Permanent

Last month, in our school, our lesson was about setting goals. This month our lesson is about fitness. So, I decided to show our students how to set a goal and stick to it. My goal was actually a fitness goal so I have been able to work the two months lesson together into one big lesson. I also had an ulterior motive, which was getting ready for the Ultimate Black Belt Test. I told our students that my goal for the month was to do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 squats every day. I asked the students to help me reach my goal, so in every class; we did 30 of each exercise. By the end of the month, Michelle and I were doing at least 105 to 140 every day. We told our students that we reached our goal with their help and for us to be able to get through the UBBT, we would have to ask for their help some more. I think if we practice doing our exercises every day, we will develop a habit and during the UBBT the exercise part will be a little easier. I have always heard that practice doesn't make perfect, it makes permanent. With that in mind, maybe when one of us says "you ready for another set", the other won’t say "AGAIN".
