Are you working out S.M.A.R.T.?

We all want to live a healthy lifestyle. Having goals is key to obtaining what we want. Often times our goals are not met because they are either unclear or we have unrealistic expectations. A good way to overcome this is to set S.M.A.R.T. goals.

  • S - Specific
  • M - Measurable
  • A - Attainable/Achievable
  • R - Realistic
  • T - Time Based




SPECIFIC
  • Your goals should be clear
  • well defined
  • Your reason
  • Your purpose
  • Your "Why"
MEASURABLE
  • Measuring the progress towards your goal
  • How Much, how long, etc.
ATTAINABLE
  • How will this goal be accomplished?
  • Is it within your grasp?
REALISTIC
  • Is this goal possible to achieve?
  • Are your sights set too high?
  • Does it fit your "why"?
TIME BASED
  • Set a time frame
  • Give yourself enough time
  • Don't give too much time or your goal will never be met
