Hello Everybody I'm new to fitness in general, I am trying to improve my overall health by eating healthier, avoiding chocolate chip cookies, and working out. So, my SMART goals for the six week challenge: Exercises at least 3 times a week, learn and use free weights Eat vegetables at least 2 times a day My "off" days I will do at least 5 minutes of high intensity cardio My ultimate goal or quest for now is to be able to do 20 push ups (real ones), 5 pull ups, with perfect form, and run 3 miles . Get my BMI to 23%, currently is about 26%. you know i want to be stronger, and more flexible. If you have any comments or any suggestion with my SMART goals let me know Is your overall quest achievable (over a short or long period of time)? Is it reasonable? it is, most of it is, small changes that will help me get to my ultimate goal Do your 3 quests all build towards your main quest in little ways, or are you taking on too much? Do your quests have sub-quests or is it just one thing to focus on? Yes, each one will aid in a small way, no sub quests for now Are your main goals realistic? Can you scale them to smaller steps to fit your life better, even if it will make it take a little longer to achieve them? yes, they are, I made them small enough to make them into habits Are your goals able to be measured and tracked? What will you use to track them? yes, every goal can be easily tracked How are you grading your goals? Are they pass/fail (“every dayâ€, “not even once over the six weeksâ€)? Is there a reward for the effort, or are you only grading yourself on whether or not you “lose the weight†or “run the distanceâ€? Pass and fail, with rewards at the end of every 2 weeks. What is your plan for continuing/altering/grading those goals if you become ill or injured? well, I hope i don't get injured, but if it happens I'll adjust my workouts Did you take into consideration any special occasions that may occur during the challenge? What modifications do you need to build into your goals for those? Nope, but I hope after 6 weeks these mini goals become habits able to stand the test of time. Do any of your main goals conflict with each other? Will one goal make it hard to do another? No, is like they complement each other Do you already have the time in your schedule to actually complete the goals you’ve set? If not, what are you planning to do to make time for them? yes, now I just need the willpower, to actually workout Are you trying to build multiple habits, or is all your energy focused on your main quest? I am building multiple habits that will lead to my ultimate goal.
