SETTING SMART GOALS
Everyone has their own path to personal fitness but it can be easy to get sidetracked. SMART goals keep you on track and remind you of your priorities.
Instead of chasing the idea of fitness, try to set specific goals or milestones with a plan and timeline in place.
Specific
Start with something that’s not too vague or arbitrary.
Measurable
Get quantitative and determine exactly how you plan to measure success.
Attainable
Make a plan and prioritize the steps that will lead you to your goal.
Relevant
Whether you want to feel confident at a big event or feel better during everyday activities, pinpoint why a goal is important to you.
Timely
You want to be strict about a deadline—doing so creates urgency. It's also important not to set your sights too far out.
