S etting SMART goals
FITNESS
Jesse Hughes Member Experience Manager
Each year , for as long as I can remember , I have written a list of resolutions which usually includes losing weight , eating healthier , travelling more and saving money .
The problem is , I rarely get to tick anything off my to-do list , and come December I am disappointed and discouraged by this lack of ticks .
But you know what ? It ’ s not my fault ! My resolutions are setting me up to fail . And yours probably are too !
Not this year ! 2017 is now ( un ) officially the year of the SMART goal .
Now , some of you may have already cottoned on to the phenomenon that is SMART goals , but I ’ m a late bloomer , so am only just jumping on the bandwagon .
For those that are SMART goals newbies , they are Specific , Measurable , Achievable , Realistic and Timely goals , mapping out exactly what we want to achieve and how we ’ re going to achieve it .
SMART goals should be simple , attainable declarations of intention . Or so my Personal Trainer tells me .
Did you know , the more things on the to-do list , the quicker you will lose motivation ?
This year I ’ m focusing on three SMART goals and “ lose weight ” has been deleted .
My SMART goal is to lose 10 kilos in 12 weeks by exercising at least four times a week and eating a wellbalanced , healthy diet .
What are YOUR goals ? Will 2017 be the year you finally start ticking those health and fitness goals off your list of New Year ’ s Resolutions ? Will you lose that five kilos that have been at the top of your to-do list for the last two years ?
Don ’ t let a false start in January deter you from kicking butt in 2017 . Simply map out your SMART goals and get started !
If you ’ re like me and you struggle with motivation , make sure you share your SMART goals with someone you know will hold you to account and make sure you stay focused and determined .
Or , if you ’ re like me and want a whole lot of extra motivation , sign up on a 12 week challenge for the support you need to kick your SMART goals in 2017 .
You ’ ll be more motivated to be a fitter , healthier , happier version of yourself AND you ’ ll be determined to look better in the AFTER photo ( not the before shot !).
Make 2017 the year you finally kick those goals !
