Greg Tucker set a S.M.A.R.T. goal to do 15-30 minutes of yoga daily for 3 weeks. He has prior experience with yoga and believes it is an achievable and enjoyable way to stay active. While daily yoga may be difficult with his schedule, yoga helps him feel physically and mentally prepared for the day. After 3 weeks, Greg was happy with his consistency in yoga, having only missed 5 out of 21 days, and found that yoga improved his mood and energy levels.

2. GoalSpecific- My goal is to do 15 to 30 minutes of yoga every day. Measurable- Set a music playlist for desired duration of activity. Record time for three weeks. Achievable- I love yoga and have done it for a while. Doing it every single day might be tough with scheduling conflicts. Realistic- Yoga is one of my favorite ways to start the day. Making this activity an everyday occurrence will not only be realistic, but very enjoyable and practical. Time- 15 - 30 minutes a day, everyday, for three weeks.

3. Influence FactorsPredisposing- Knowledge of techniques and routine. Attitude and values towards staying in tune with my body.Enabling- Adequate Resources (Yoga mat). FREE! Physical Capabilities. Reinforcing- Incentives and Rewards, my grade as well as my physical well being. Teacher Support and Encouragement.

4. ResourcesYoga is FREE!The only things I need are time, motivation and a comfortable environment.My roommates are very supportive of my goal. Sadly, none of them do yoga with me.

5. Measurment

6. Self Assessment For the most part, I am very happy with my goal. I did not meet it completely, but this is the most consistent I have ever been my yoga activity. I only went 5 out of 21 days without doing yoga. Those days are contributed to timing, conflicts as well as some laziness. What I learned during these past three weeks is that I can stay active and focused with my yoga when I want to be. On the days when I did yoga, usually first thing in the morning, I felt physically conscious and prepared for the day, more mentally aware and awake, and I felt overall better. My days seemed longer (in a good way), I was generally happier and ready to take on the day.
