When it comes to setting fitness goals, it is important to be specific. Why? Because specific goals are typically easier to measure and allow you to track your progress. According to Fitness Expert, Obi ObadIke, good fitness goals are:
- Specific
- Quantifiable
- Achievable
- Realistic
- Time-Sensitive
So, instead of just saying: “I want to get fit,” be more specific. A more realistic goal would be: “I want to lose 2 inches around my waist in 5 weeks,” or “I want to decrease my mile running time by 30 seconds within 3 weeks,” etc.
