Make SMART Fitness goals

Have you started thinking about  your goal ?…  I don't mean a resolution or a wish I'm talking about goals.  When setting your goal, you have to plan it out, make sure it is a smart goal.  As in , 

S - Specific

M- Measurable

A -  attainable

R - Realistic

T - Time sensitive 

Make your goals specific and measurable . , instead of saying I want to get more toned.  Say, I want to lose at least 2 inches in my hips, and lose at least 5 pounds.  OR I want to be able to do 10 full push ups in a row.  

Attainable and realistic means that it really can do done and it is realistic for you -  weight loss takes time so be realistic.  Also consider what else you have going on in your life ( work, travel,     ) so that you are staying realistic with your goals and not over loading your self.  

Time sensitive. Set a dead line or time limit on it.  This will give you something to work for and help keep you accountable  By _____ blank date I will have lost ___blank pounds  or have lost ___ blank number of inches.
