Get Fit Friday: Goal Doctor (Check-Up)!

Today on Get Fit Friday is an appointment with the Goal Doctor (Check-Up).   We’ll review your previous goals, tweak them, and create some new ones.  If you didn’t have goals before, now is a great time to start making them!  With the holidays, spring break, and summer vacation all on our upcoming agendas, October is a great time to revisit your fitness goals and make plans to get well!

Now, start a comment on this post!  Type three fitness-related goals.

My goals:

1. To run or walk for a total of 2.5 hours each week.
2. To reduce my daily caloric intake by 500 kcals per day (= 1 or 2 regular sodas)
3. To add crunches, stretching, and other at-home exercises at least 3 days per week

Your goals should be measurable and detailed including any dates or numbers needed.  Then, take those 3 goals and type in 3 objectives for each goal which will lead you toward attaining each goal.  Objectives are specific steps you will take to achieve your goals.

My Objectives:

GOAL #1:  To run or walk for a total of 2.5 hours each week. 

1. Run/Walk 30 minutes daily M-F, take Saturdays & Sundays off
2. Make time by Sunday of each week – record on my calendar with stickers
3. Schedule running or walking time daily on my agenda (flexible, but must be done each day)

GOAL #2:  To reduce my daily caloric intake by 500 kcals per day (= 1 or 2 regular sodas)

1. Track my caloric intake for 1 week
2. Limit sodas to one or less per day
3. Limit portions and don’t take second helpings + take my lunch to work

GOAL #3 To add crunches, stretching, and other at-home exercises at least 3 days per week

1. After running on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays I’ll stretch & add other exercises unless I have class/practice instead
2. Do 9-minute abs on Wednesdays and use the trampoline on other days
3.  Gradually increase workouts but don’t overdo it on any certain day- there’s always tomorrow!
