Do You Have Goals?

Do You Have Goals?

A goal can simply be defined as a desired result that is accompanied by an effort aimed at achievement. When setting a goal, you should make sure it is SMART:

Specific: “I want to lose 10lbs in two months”, not “I want to lose weight”

Measurable: “I will attend training 3x week”, not “I will train more often”

Attainable: “I will lose 2lbs a week”, not “I will lose 10lbs in a week”

Realistic: Something you are willing and able to work towards.

Timely: “I will lose 5lbs each month”, not “I will lose 10lbs”

Why is it important to have goals? Goals propel you forward and gives you something to work towards. Often times we get caught up looking at the large obstacles in front of us and become overwhelmed. Goals allow you to break it down into smaller more manageable steps. With each smaller goal we achieve, our motivation and drive to continue to the larger goal increases. We start to believe in ourselves. Also having a goal holds you accountable because you can track your progress.

Your coaches want to help you with your goals and keep you on track for success! We will have a Goal Box in the foyer. Use the form provided to write out your goal(s). Studies have shown that you are more likely to achieve your goals by writing them down. Once you have listed your goal on the form, as well as your name and email address, place it in the Goal Box. A coach will be in contact with you through email to review your goal and develop a plan to help you succeed. Once your personal plan is in place, your coach will check in with you regularly to make sure you are on track.
