Happy Spring!

What’s your fitness goal this Spring season? When setting goals I recommend using this acronym, courtesy of the American Council on Exercise: 

S.M.A.R.T =  Small, measurable, attainable, realistic and timebound.

For example by May 30th, my primary goal is to get the strength back in my left hip, glute and quads, as I continue to recover from my knee surgery. 

Is this goal small? Yes.

Is it measurable? Certainly, between my physical therapist and my experience as a trainer we can measure strength gains. 

Is it attainable? Absolutely - yes.

Is it realistic? Yes - I need to be strong and fit to continue training others and keep up with my fitness activities.

Is it timebound? Yes - by the end of May - I expect to note significant progress.

Need Assistance? Email me your goal and I’ll help you put the S.M.A.R.T. acronym to use!

Good Luck!
