Nicole's SMART goal was to stay fit over the spring by exercising for 30 consecutive days. Her plan was to bike for 30 minutes twice a week, doing 3.5 miles each time at increasing resistance levels, and to lift weights to maintain muscle. By tracking her biking times over 4 weeks, she saw improvements where her time decreased from 20 minutes to 13 minutes while keeping the distance the same. As a result of sticking to her goal, Nicole lost 5 pounds over the 30 day period.
2. My SMART Goal…
S- I will eat less fatty snacks when I am hungry and
pick up an apple instead.
M- I will motivate myself by thinking about the
next ice hockey season when freshman are trying
to take my spot.
A- My actions speak louder than words: Put up or
shut up.
R- I will force myself to stick to a specific workout
routine.
T- I will train hard every day.
3. Why did I choose my goal?
Ichose my goal to keep fit over the spring
when school starts to wind down and it
gets nicer outside so we are less likely to
want to work out. I will exercise for 30
consecutive days.
4. Obtaining my goal:
In order to obtain my goal of staying fit
throughout the year even when I am not
in season I will continue to workout by
biking to keep up my cardio and lifting to
continue to build muscle.
5. Schedule
30 minutes on a stationary bike
2 rides
3.5 miles each
Level
12 resistance
7. Data Results
As it shows, the time between both trials
of their respective week were very close
in time, but I always rode a better first trial
than second.
My time each week also lessened from a
first trial time of 20 minutes to a last trial
time of 13 shaving 7 whole minutes off my
ride!
