How to do Goal Setting RIGHT!

When it comes to health and fitness, goal setting isn't just about motivation; it's a strategy that helps you stay on track and build lasting habits. Whether you want to lose weight, build strength, improve endurance, or lead a healthier lifestyle, setting both short-term and long-term goals is crucial to making real progress. Understanding the value of these goals and knowing how to achieve them can make all the difference in staying committed and seeing lasting results.

With so much advice and so many options, it's easy to feel lost. Without clear goals, you may struggle to stay focused or feel discouraged when progress seems slow. That’s where goal setting comes in. Clear goals serve as a roadmap, helping you navigate your fitness journey and stay motivated even when challenges arise.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Goals

Short-Term Goals: These are small, specific targets that can be achieved in a few weeks or months. They help build momentum and give you something to celebrate along the way. A short-term goal might be increasing your daily steps by 2,000 or prepping healthy meals for the week. These small wins keep you engaged and make your long-term goals feel more achievable.

Long-Term Goals: These are the bigger aspirations that take months or years to accomplish. Long-term goals keep you focused on the bigger picture. For instance, you might aim to lose 20 pounds, run a marathon, or adopt a healthier lifestyle for the long haul.

These goals give you direction and remind you why you started in the first place.

Both short-term and long-term goals are necessary. Short-term goals give you momentum, while long-term goals help you maintain your commitment and vision.

3 TIPS FOR GOAL SETTING

Make Your Goals S.M.A.R.T. Instead of a vague goal like "I want to lose weight," create something concrete: "I want to lose 3kg in 4 weeks by working out 4 times a week and eating less processed food."

Track Your Progress Regularly or Recruit Someone for Accountability Whether you use an

app, journal, or calendar, logging your workouts, meals, and activities helps you measure progress and stay accountable. Recruiting a friend or family member is super effective to keep you even more accountable!

Stay Flexible and Adjust When Needed Life rarely goes according to plan, and setbacks will happen. Missed workouts or cheat meals don’t mean failure—they’re just part of the process. Instead of giving up, take a step back, reassess your goals, and adjust your plan.
