Alys Fitness Experience - Achievable goals.

How long are you going to put up with that thing in your life you don't like, that you want to change about yourself? 

You have to self-evaluate. No one can change you better than you can change yourself. What pain are you willing to accept? Unhealthy lifestyle pain or that pain you get after an amazing workout? The decision is ultimately yours to choose. Making the commitment to get fit or fitter is the first step to a healthier life and healthier you.

What would be considered a reasonable fitness goal? So many of us seem to set these vague fitness goals to try and meet such as "I want to lose weight" or just generally "I want to get fit", the one I hear the most is "I'm going to sign up to the gym this year". When deep down each time we set these types of goals we often fail at following through because the goals are too vague or we don't plan them out well enough. 

To achieve fitness or health goal, you must be realistic for your own lifestyle, and be specific with your goal put a reasonable time on your goals. Write them down; so you can see exactly what you want to achieve for yourself so you can set some long and short term goals that are achievable depending on your list.

An example of a new fitness goal I made for myself was starting a food and fitness journal; to track what I eat daily to keep myself accountable, also for when I go to the gym or do some form of workout and if I don't see changes in my weight or inches,I can look back and it will tell me exactly why (ex. too much snacking, not working out enough)

If your goal is weight-loss, attempting to lose weight fast paced will only set you up for disappointment, it will lead to an unhealthy weight loss, and the outcome won't be long term. Take it month by month, see what your body reacts and doesn't react to, don't try to speed up the process.

This goes for any fitness goal; working out or even changing your eating habits; know your bodies limits. yes, you can push limits a bit but just know when you need to stop before the point of possibly causing damage to your body and/or getting hurt.

What is one of the long or short term fitness goals you have for yourself? and what are you doing to achieve it?
