How to set your first SMART fitness goal
Fitnes Team·8 iulie 2026·1 min de citit
A goal you cannot measure is a goal you cannot fail — which sounds comfortable and is exactly the problem.
The five parts
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. "Squat sixty kilos for five reps by the end of October" passes all five. "Get stronger" passes none.
Set a process goal alongside the outcome: "three sessions a week for eight weeks". You control attendance; you do not directly control the number on the bar.
Pick a horizon you can see
Eight to twelve weeks. Long enough for real change, short enough to stay interested.
Review, do not abandon
Missed a week? Adjust the date, keep the goal. Restarting from zero is the only genuine failure.
