It’s 2024 and most of us like to write down a few goals. When it comes to fitness you want to ensure your goals are attainable, you don’t want them to be too easy, but also not unreachable. One to three goals are a good number to work with, any more and it can be overwhelming.
You then want to list what you are going to do to achieve that goal. If your goal is to be active five days a week, you would list what you will do to do that. Setting out your workout clothes the night before, setting your alarm, and telling someone close to you to keep you accountable would be some steps of how you can achieve your goal.
Another idea is to give yourself some targets to hit before the actual goal. If your goal is to be active five times a week regularly by June 30, 2024, you might set a three-month goal for March 31st that you will be active three times a week by then. Then for the next three months, you go to five times a week. If you go all out in the beginning, there is a chance you will make it much harder for yourself. I always suggest starting small, making small changes first and then slowly building.
Like I said earlier have someone keep you accountable. When you tell someone they will be able to check on you and you can check in with them.
Here’s to reaching all your goals and going big this 2024.
