THE DESIRE TO CONSTANTLY IMPROVE, ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, AND BE SUCCESSFUL IS HUMAN NATURE. THE ONLY TROUBLE IS GETTING THERE. Sometimes our ambitions seem so far away that it’s easy to lose sight of them and, with that, motivation. When it comes to fitness, the best way to make progress is by starting with small, realistic goals and building over time. STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS There will be great days when everything goes better than you planned, good days when you can just get everything done, and bad days when things don’t work out as you hoped. But if you set sustainable goals, you can make the great and good days more likely than the bad days. Goal setting can not only help with accountability and routine, it can also provide clear aims within your routine. For example, your goal is to lose body fat. If you set specific incremental goals and implement daily non-negotiables — like drinking enough water and eating properly — even if you have an off day, you won’t be completely knocked off track. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY The goals you set must be challenging but attainable, so you can be confident that success is realistic. But this doesn’t mean you need to be constantly hitting new targets. You’ll also need to rest and give your body the time to recover on the way. Taking the occasional break is going to get you to where you want to be sooner. SO, HOW DO YOU SET SUSTAINABLE GOALS? YOU’LL WANT TO SET OUT DIFFERENT OBJECTIVES WITH DIFFERENT TIMESCALES. goal YOUR SETTING BY CHLOE DOBBS MYP/PT BACK TO MENU
