Step 1: Determine Your Level of Activity Before setting a fitness goal, it's helpful to understand where you are and what you want. Take a minute to evaluate your fitness level. It may be helpful to ask yourself: - What is my current level of activity? - Am I happy with my current level of activity? - Where do I want to be? - What is motivating me? - What is my end goal? To lose weight, become fit, or maintain my current status? Step 2: Set Attainable Goals Once you have evaluated where you are and where you want to be, it is easier to set attainable goals. - Be Specific: When setting a goal, clarity provides focus, which is helpful when making a plan. - Measurable: A goal that is measurable shows progress and encourages us to move forward. - Attainable: Be reasonable with yourself; don't set goals that will result in failure. You can always increase as you progress. - Recorded: A goal is just a dream until it is recorded and progress is shown. Keep a record. - Time-frame: A reasonable time-frame requires action and encourages progress. Step 3: Determine the Activities You Like There is more than one way to become active and reach your fitness goals. You don't have to become a runner or a cyclist; you simply need to choose activities that work for you. When choosing an activity think about the following: - Choose something you enjoy: A goal is more likely to be accomplished if you enjoy the journey. - Make it accessible: You want to spend more time doing the activity than getting to it. Have several options in case of inclement weather or lack of time. - Choose an intensity level: Activities should push but not overwhelm you. If you've never been active; you're not going to begin with a marathon, but with easy walking. - Working out with a partner: Your goal should motivate you, but a partner can always encourage you to reach your goals. - Choosing a gym or at-home workout: Either option can provide results, so you have a choice. You can't beat the convenience of working out at home, but a gym can provide focus and motivation if needed. - Providing yourself with a schedule: When scheduling a fitness routine, consider your week, ask yourself when during the day you have the most energy, and then plan accordingly. Step 4: Understanding What Works To help you achieve your fitness goals, use the activities you've chosen to complete the following: *Experts from the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association recommend these guidelines. - Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity 5 days a week or 20 minutes of vigorous-activity 3 days a week. Examples include walking, swimming, cycling. - Adults should include strength training in their fitness routine, 2 days a week for at least 20 minutes a day. Examples include weight lifting, push-ups, sit-ups, lunges - Adults should include flexibility training at least 2 days a week for at least 10 minutes a day. Examples include stretching, yoga, or pilates. - Finally, for adults who struggle with balance, it is recommended that you include balance training three times a week. Examples include, leg raises and squats. - If needed, work up to these recommended levels gradually. Activity can always be adjusted to fitness level. Starting with just 5 minutes a day can help you achieve your fitness goals. Step 5: Keep it Going See if you can turn it into a habit. Research has shown that people are more likely to maintain a good physical activity routine if they: - Ask for Support: Let your health care professional, family, and friends know about your plans. - Feel in Control: It's important that YOU pick your goals and activities. - Write Down a Plan: Keeping track of goals and progress helps you stay focused. - Keep it Safe: Always check with your health care professionals. Be sure not to do anything that could increase your risk of injury. - Get Regular (Positive) Feedback: Encourage family and friends to keep you appraised of your progress. - Include Rewards: Reward yourself often – it can be great for motivation. Now you have a plan of action—which is more than half the battle. Start slowly, stay positive, and stick with it. http://www.thinkslimandsassy.com - Start your weight loss makeover today! End
