SAMPLE GOALS:
Goal setting is a popular motivational technique. It’s important to
set goals and reward yourself when initiating a new exercise
program because you’re attempting to break current patterns and
form a new habit. Whether you use this technique or another, make
fitness a priority in your life. You can achieve the ultimate reward
to yourself: you can establish the exercise habit!
Some sample goals may be:
•To strengthen my heart by exercising 24 minutes three
days a week.
(Goal Measurement: Exercise Time=72 minutes a week).
•To improve my body’s ability to burn fat by exercising at
a low intensity for 48 minutes per day, 5 days a week.
(Goal Measurement: Exercise Time=240 minutes per week).
•To burn off work related stress by exercising for 20
minutes a day on work days.
(Goal Measurement: Exercise Time=100 minutes per week).
