Goal Setting - How to acheive optimal results
Goal setting is imperative to anybody embarking on a fitness regime. Setting goals will allow you to track, monitor and reassess your progress at regular intervals. Whether you want to run a marathon, lose 30kgs or simply improve your overall fitness, setting realistic goals will keep your mind focused and on the way to great results!
To begin, start by pinpointing your most important goal. Make sure the goal is realistic and achievable within the time frame you set. Put in place a plan to achieve your goal. You may wish to break your goal up into a series of small, specific mini goals. For example if you are aiming to run 5km you may set target intervals of 1, 2, 3 and 4km runs for you to achieve. Ensure that your mini goals are measurable and realistic. Decide on how you will monitor your progress. You may wish to keep a journal and measure milestones once a week or once a fortnight. For weight loss goals, remember the scales are not always a good indicator of your progress, consider using a measuring tape or body fat monitor instead.
Don’t punish yourself if you are unable to reach your goals within your allocated timeframe. Sit down and reassess your goals and timeframe and be honest about what is and isn’t realistic. All achievements, no matter how small are worthwhile.Reward yourself at each milestone. You may wish to treat yourself to a new piece of clothing, go to the movies or simply give yourself a big pat on the back! Most of all don’t give up, you will reach your goal with persistence and planning.
