It is that time of year again. As this year is wrapping up we are thinking of our accomplishments and what we need to achieve for the next year. Fitness and health are many times at the top of the list. Here are some tips from Allyfitness to help you set and ACHIEVE those goals.
Flip through fitness magazines and look at before and after pictures of significantly overweight, unfit, real people who transformed themselves through exercise and changes in their daily eating habbits. Shape and Fitness Magazines generally have a section on this every month.
Read about real people who have achieved great success in accomplishing their goals, like my friend Cindy Corn who went from sedentary and unfit to hiking over 100 miles a year now in the Smoky Mountains! These are real examples. If they can do it, what’s stopping you?
Getting fit is an ongoing process that takes consistency and work.
Tip 1 - Ensure Your Fitness Goals Are Achieving what YOU Want to Achieve
Don’t set your goals to please someone else. Think about what getting fit means to you and how it will make your life better. Don’t do it because someone tells you you’d look better if you lost ten pounds. That’s the wrong motivation. I find it help to tie the goal to a Health Benefit you want. For instance, do you want to be more active with your kids or grand kids? Let's add life to our years.
Tip 2 - Be Specific and Make it Measurable!
Do you want to decrease body fat, build lean body mass, get stronger, increase your endurance and stamina? Focus on one goal at a time so you can pursue it with laser-like intensity. Once you know your main goal, narrow it down. For example, “I want to drop a pants size.”
Tip 3 - Be Realistic
It may sound like a great idea to hit the gym for an hour a day, but it may not be realistic if you work, have a family and other obligations. If you goal is not realistic, you will not stick to it and you will give up.
Tip 4 - Put a Date to it and make it Time Based. Have a Plan for the Week and Month!
It is a proven fact that putting goals on paper helps with accountability. Once you’ve written down your main goal, break it down into smaller steps – like and action plan for the month and each week. Make sure the steps you plan will move you towards your goal.
I suggest folks try to get 3 to 5 workouts in per week and limit fast food. That is achievable and measurable over a 7 day period. Then build a plan for the entire month.
Tip 5 - Get an Accountability Partner or Coach
Did you know that you are 50% more likely to be exercising a year from now if you do it with a Friend or Family member?
You can also hire a health coach to help you develop your goals and action plans and stay on track.
