Goals and fitness

I have written lots of posts about the importance of goal setting in the past and I am sure they will surface again in the future. Going through my RSS feeds today I came across an arcticle that reminded me more about work than goal setting but it is a great way to set goals

S.M.A.R.T. Goal Setting For Fitness And Weight Management – Fitness Mantra : A Health and Fitness Blog

A SMART goal has the following, it is :

S – specific, significant, stretching
M – measurable, meaningful, motivational
A – agreed upon, attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented
R – realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented
T – time-based, timely, tangible, trackable

All of this makes sense right? Well Fitness Mantra has a very good in depth write up of what all of this means. The important thing is to create these goals correctly. If you want to gain or to lose 30 pounds it means nothing unless a clock is ticking. If you want to win the Mr Olympia but you are 40 (like me) then it is not very realistic unless of course there are extenuating circumstances that you know can allow you to achieve.

Check the article and today make sure that all of your goals are time based and realistic. You need a plan and a planned outcome so start this today

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.
