Set Fitness Goals

Set your own fitness goals. Other people may have suggestions, but choose a goal that you want to go after. Other people’s fitness goals should not interfere with one you set for yourself.

*  Write down your goals. This gives them more importance.

*  Your goals should be within reach, but challenging. Make sure your goals are S.M.A.R.T. Does your goal meet the criteria?

*  Know why you are setting each goal. For example, you may be doing this exercise for stress relief or to try something new. Or, you are meeting a friend and want to help them stick to their goal.

*  Review and adjust your goals as needed. It takes practice to know how to set reasonable but challenging goals for yourself.

*  Track your progress and reward yourself for successes.
