Brittany set a SMART goal to increase her time on the elliptical from 30 minutes to 40 minutes, 4 days a week for a month. She tracked her progress using a fitness app and reached her goal within 4 weeks by scheduling workouts, getting rest, eating healthy, and logging her progress. Positive influences like friends and a schedule helped her achieve her goal of 40 minutes on the elliptical Monday through Thursday as planned.

 S-(Specific) I will use the elliptical for 40 minutes every Monday

(Measurable) I will time myself with the clock on the elliptical and
fitness pal on my Iphone. A- (Attainable) I am a member on the
Plymouth State Ski team and already very active and ski every day
of the week which motivates me to go to the gym after skiing so I
can keep my cardio level up. R- (Realistic) I already use the
elliptical at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes so I find that this
goal is practical. T- (Timely) This goal will be accomplished by
mid March, giving me around a month to accomplish my goal.

 YES I did reach my goal.
In about 4 weeks I was able to reach
40 minutes on the elliptical with no
problem.
The most helpful part of reaching my
goal was making sure I scheduled
in time to workout every day. Even
on my busy days I made sure I put
in my planner a certain time I would
go to the gym.Also on My Fitness
Pal you can become friends with
people which helped me motivate
myself when I saw that others
worked out that day.
