Goal Setting for Fitness by Greg Marshall www.fiture.co

Understanding your "why"You must figure out what drives you internally before you can decide to changeyour external situation.For example you must know if you are motivated by reaching a goal everyonesays you "cannot reach" to say you did it?Why are these goals important to you?Most people try the next diet or workout before they figure out their why andthen end up failing.The problem is not that you do not have willpower but that you do not knowyour key motivators.Most common "why" - recognition, goal attainment, to feel more attractive, todate again, and to be a better parent.

Define your goalsWhat do you want to look like 12 months from now?Exactly how much do you want to weigh?What size pants do you want to fit in?What will be your rewards for hitting those goals?What are your benchmarks?How do you want to feel in 12 months?

Emotional GoalsYour eating habits have a lot to do with your success in your fitness journey.When do you eat the most? (stressed, celebrating, when your self esteem islow)What is your plan for working on your self image/body image?How will you manage your stress? (find a new hobby, spend time with family,exercise)What behaviors will you no longer accept? (self hate, negative talk, abuse fromother people)

Support SystemWho will be your support system?Find at least one or two people who you trust who will not judge you but stillhold you accountable to your fitness goals.The benefit of having a support system is when you want to quit they are theirto keep pushing you to reach your goals.Signs of a positive support system- you can open up to them about yourstruggles and not feel bad, you feel motivated by your meetings, they give youhope that you can go on.

Reward SystemChoose rewards that really get you excited such as a new wardrobe.Set up mini rewards instead of one big reward to keep the positive selfreinforcement in place.Every benchmark you achieve you should celebrate with your support systemto gain momentum.Actually reward yourself when you hit your goals. Avoid the temptation to delayyour reward.
