Unlock the Secret to Crushing Your Workout Goals: What Nobody Tells You About Setting the Perfect Fitness Target
Skill-Based Goals
Newcomers and long-time gym-goers alike often strive to learn gym skills—specific exercises and movements they can use to reach their wider fitness goals.
Some examples include:
- Mastering a kettlebell swing
- Squatting with proper form
- Walking comfortably on a treadmill
- Holding a yoga pose correctly
Of course, these still need to be turned into SMART goals. Here’s what these examples might look like if they were tweaked to meet the SMART format:
- Mastering a kettlebell swing with a 5lb weight in two weeks
- Squatting half of your body weight with proper form in three months
- Walking at 3 mph for 20 minutes on the treadmill in one week
- Holding Warrior I correctly for two minutes in three weeks
Performance Goals
Instead of mastering a specific skill, perhaps you want to perform better in a certain fitness area. Performance goals are very common in the fitness community, but the SMART framework is the ticket to keeping performance goals achievable.
