Your mid-year fitness goal review.
At the start of 2023 we wrote an exciting journal article about how to set realistic goals for the year. The key takeaway from that article was to set SMART goals, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely goals. It also outlined that there are a few other key steps to make sure you stay on track with your fitness goals, which include starting small and building from there, valuing consistency over intensity, being adaptable and sharing your goals with a friend or personal trainer. We’re now past the halfway point in 2023 and we thought that would be a great opportunity to look back on the first half of the year and see how far you’ve come along, and if you’ve struggled this is your reminder to be patient with yourself and get back into FIT and start working towards those goals.
So as we’ve said, as we’ve reached the midpoint of the year, this presents an opportunity to pause and reflect, and if need be review the fitness goals we set ourselves. When doing this it’s important to remember everyone’s fitness journey isn’t the same, and to be self-compassionate as we may need to make adjustments in order to reach our fitness goals.
