If you really want to reach your exercise, nutrition and health, training and fitness goals, it’s time to write down clear, specific and measurable goals and commit to them.
What are the key elements of a goal that works?
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Relevant
- Thrilling!
I really like the last bullet point – what would you be super thrilled to accomplish this year? Really, you can do it – whatever it is, don’t let that little voice in your head tell you you can’t! We’re here to help with daily fitness tips, and you get to commit to your goals as the first and very important step.
Here’s some examples that follow the above criteria (hey, we’re all in this together) … my goals for this year (by my birthday in august):
- Complete a half IronMan triathlon (I’ve done several Olympic distance triathlons, but not yet a half IronMan – my goal for next year will be the FULL IronMan)
- Body weight at or below 155 pounds or less than 10% bodyfat
- blood pressure back to 120 over 80
- 10 mile run under 60 minutes by end of year
- Complete entire P90X extreme home fitness course!
What are your goals for this year? Write them down. PLEASE POST YOUR GOALS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW – the best way to achieve your goal is to share them – we’re here to support you! I also recommend putting them on your bathroom mirror – that way, every time you brush your teeth, you’ll be reminded of your goals 🙂
Also, if you haven’t signed up for your health fitness tips (free fitness tips) – simply enter your name and e-mail in the opt in box in the upper right.
