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

October 12, 2012 by Bargain Briana

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!
Lastly, add tangible incentives to your goals.
My One-Month Incentives:
  • Goal #1:  New Headphones & New Music; Add my times to our school Wellness Program, ‘Got Time’!
  • Goal #2:  New Shoes; Feel Better!
  • Goal #3:  New Jeans; Look & feel better for basketball season
I’ll admit my incentives are weak.  I am working on that.  Please post your comment with your goals, objectives, and incentives!  I’ll do my best to comment on your post.  You can even print your comment for your records!  We’ll check-up on these goals in a month or so.  Have a happy, healthy Friday! :)

    I always failed on my exercise plan every weekend. Your post is a sot of Challenge and both a reminder to me to really step my foot on it!

      If you can come up with a way to hold yourself accountable by writing down your plans or putting your workouts on your phone calendar you might be more likely to follow through with it. I’ve heard many people say it helps to schedule their workouts like they would a doctor’s appointment with a set time and date. Good luck Mike!
