• Is your Fitness Goals are “SMART”?

    Posted on November 9th, 2009 Martin Bolduc 2 comments

    Today I will teach you how to make your Goals ‘SMART’.

     

    What is a SMART goal?

     

    A SMART goal is a goal that is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-framed.

    M easurable

    A ttainable

    R ealistic

    T ime framed

    Specific – The goal must be clear and precise.

    Many people decide they want to “get fit”. This statement is too general. Does it mean getting up a flight of stairs, or does it mean being able to climb the Empire State Building? Does it mean losing 5 pounds or 25? A specific goal is clear and easy to understand. State your goal. Put it on the fridge, tell your friends, family and co workers. It will help you stick to it. 

    Measurable – There must be a way to determine your success.

    You will never be able to achieve a goal if you don’t know what the measurement of success is. Without an endpoint, you will not be able to chart your progress and see the improvements along the way. If your goal is to increase your strength, how will you know when you have reached it? A measurable goal would be ‘to be able to do 3 sets of 12 repetitions with a ten pound weight’. 

    Attainable – Determine how you are going to reach your goal.

    Great achievements require plans. By mapping out the actions that need to be taken, you will greatly improve you likelihood of reaching your goal.

    Realistic – Take a reality check – is this goal attainable?

    Ask yourself the question: “Can I do this?” If the answer is “no”, adjust the goal. This may involve slight changes to the action plan, the time involved for the goal, or a complete change in the original goal. 

    Time – Set a deadline for the goal.

    Break down the steps outlined in your action plan and determine how long each will take. Add up the time. If the time does not fit into your goal, either adjust the goal or the time frames. Set a definite end date: e.g. ‘I want to lose 5 pounds in the next month’. Start your goal on January 1, and aim for January 31 as your deadline. 

     

    You see, when you know how to make your goals more specific, you have a better chance to reach them!

    • [...] Goal orientated approach It is always helpful to set a target and motivate yourself to reach it. You can achieve this by setting up a proper plan which includes fat loss food that helps you reduce weight. If your determination is strong, you will achieve your fat loss goals in no time. Carbohydrates for your diet Carbohydrates are good fat loss food items that are divided into simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are the simple sugars that are quickly dissolved by the body. These give a positive boost to your body’s energy level but make you feel drowsy after a while. These can be taken in after a good, heavy work out session in form of a glass of juice as this will help the body recover the level of glycogen in your muscle. But if you want better result with your fat loss program, do not consume too often simple sugar. Complex carbohydrates have a lasting effect in your body and give you a feeling of satiety to have you last all day. The efficiency of your workout depends on the intake of energy you have and this is given to your body by the type of food you have. Changing your Diet Plan: A lot of diet plans do not include carbohydrates in them now days. Always remember to include fat loss food in your diet since it is helpful for your body and weight losing aims. However, you should see to the type of fat loss food that your body can adapt to.
