UNDERSTAND YOUR FITNESS GOALS BETTER.
Set a S.M.A.R.T. Goal. It is a proven method and might help you to be successful in chasing your goals. Take note of the following:
Don’t Set More Goals Than You Can Count On One Hand
Be Specific:
You must know exactly what you want. Be very clear about what it is you are trying to accomplish. Avoid nonspecific or ambiguous language when setting your goals.
For example:
Too broad: Increase my strength.
Better: Increase my clean & jerk by 10 kilograms.
Measurable:
Your goal must be measurable. How else are you supposed to know if you have made any improvement? “Get healthy”, “be fit”, and “get better at gymnastics” aren’t measurable goals. Make sure there is a metric you can use to evaluate your progress towards achieving your outcome.
Not measurable: I want to look fit.
Better: I will lose 5% body fat.
Achievable:
Your goal should challenge you and put you outside of your comfort zone. At the same time, it needs to be something that you believe is attainable. Don’t set a goal if you don’t believe you can actually achieve it. Consider working with a coach if you find yourself struggling with self-limiting beliefs.
Time-bound:
All of your goals should have a “due date”. Not a year, not a month, but actually pick a day that you will accomplish this goal.
No due date: Set a new personal record of 20 strict pull-ups.
Better: Set a new personal record of 20 strict pull-ups by December 31.
Break Up Large Goals Into Manageable Pieces
Positively State Your Goals:
A common mistake is to state goals negatively. Words like “avoid”, “not”, and “limit” are often used in negatively stated goals. For example, “I will avoid eating ice cream and cookies” is an example of a goal that has been written with negative language
FEW MORE THINGS TO NOTE:
