Ashley's SMART goal was to work out 4 days a week doing cardio for at least 1 hour each session in order to improve her stamina and ability to complete physical tasks without losing her breath or struggling. She chose this goal because she found herself easily out of breath and wanted to become healthier. Her routine involved using the treadmill and doing arm and ab exercises. Having friends join her at the gym motivated her, while lack of time, sleep, and a bad knee inhibited her workouts. By tracking her progress in logs, she found that she gained strength, could walk places without issues, and felt healthier, influencing her to make healthier food choices as well.

2. My SMART goal S Specific: Work out 4 days a week, specifically cardio. I have never been very athletic. While I am not heavy, when I do strenuous work, I am always out of breathe and struggling at the end of the task. M Measureable: Going to the gym and doing something active for at least 1 hour, 4 times a week. I will record this in order to see my progress and monitor improvement. A Attainable: I will set aside time each day to work out. I have friends that work out, so I may join them (in order to support each other). Finally, I will work my way up to 4 days a week, this way task will not seem too daunting and will become easy to do and maintain R Realistic: I have gone to the gym occasionally in the past, but never had a set schedule. This will allow me to get a bit of physical activity each day as well as practice time management T Timely: By the end of March

5. Inhibators:Lack of time: It is hard to work out when you also have school and work. Sleep: I found that if I didn’t sleep enough the night before, I did not want to work out because I was too tired Predisposition: I have a bad knee which makes my workout options limited. This also created boredom with my routine as I normally did the same thing every time.
8. I feel much healthier, overall. I find that this healthy feeling from working out has influenced other aspects of my life, such as eating. My food selections have become healthier to supplement my work out routine. I hope to keep working out and eating health through the future!
