How to Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals
Specific: Be clear about what you want to achieve. For example, instead of setting a goal to “exercise more,” set a goal to “exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times a week.”
Measurable: Make sure you can measure your progress towards your goal. This could be tracking your workouts, monitoring your calorie intake, or measuring your weight loss.
Achievable: Set goals that are realistic and attainable. If you have never run before, setting a goal to run a marathon in a month is not achievable. Instead, set a goal to run a 5k in a few months.
