Happy New Year 2025!
Happy New Year from all of us at Momentum Fitness. Looking forward to year filled with health, fitness, and fun!
Check out these tips on how to make your resolutions stick this year!
✅ SMART Goals- Relevant & Realistic
Why do you want to accomplish this goal?
Does it fit in with your long-term plan?
“Losing 10 pounds a week” sounds great, but an impossible goal will leave you discouraged and set you up for failure. Instead, think about why you’d like to lose weight:
Fit into those skinny jeans and feel great
Move better and have more energy during the day
Keep up with the kids/grandkids
Run a faster 5k
Whatever the reason, find the why, foster your motivation, and then focus on how to get there:
Cook 5 meals a week (specific) with at least 3 vegetables (measurable & achievable) that are delicious and still nutritious and that I’ll enjoy making ad eating(relevant).
☑️ SMART Goals- Achievable
As you hone your New Year’s Resolutions, ask yourself if they are a good fit for you:
• Do your goals bolster your health and wellbeing?
• Avoid aiming too high or too low. Find your Goldilocks goals that feel just right for you.
• Start with a small goal and build from it. Each achievement will give you the confidence to challenge yourself further.
Example: Instead of “Run a marathon”, start with going for a walk each day. After a few weeks, try out a run/walk program, then build from a 5k race, to a 10k, and soon you’ll be confident and ready to shoot for that marathon. Small steps for big achievements!
✅ SMART Goals- Specific!
Welcome in 2023 with strong wellness goals!
SPECIFIC:
Define the goal as much as possible
• What do you want to accomplish?
• When will you work on it and how often?
• Where will it take place?
If a better diet is on your list, be specific- what does it really mean? Instead of “eat better”, try specifics such as as eliminating all soda, eating five servings of vegetables a day, or limiting your daily sugar intake to 30 grams.
🎉2022 SMART Goals- Realistic!📒
Are the goals you’ve set relevant to your current situation?
Ask what and why: Is this goal aligned with your current life goals? Are you getting benefit out of it? If yes, then it is realistic to pursue it!
🎉 2022 SMART Goals- Be Specific! 🎇
Momentum is here to help you make the most of 2022.
Get SMART, with your goals to get there! First- be specific. By being clear and specific, you build the structure to achieve it!
From the calmsage.com: “Cut off the ambiguity and bring on the clarity. It is important to have a clear idea of what your goal is. Ask yourself what you want. At first, there might be some sentences like I want to be healthy, I want to increase my physical activity, I want to start practicing yoga, and more.
Now diverge these statements into a single specific goal. Which might be either of the two “I will have salad in my meal” or “I will exercise for 30 minutes daily.”
Pro Tip: Make a goal that denotes achievement and not avoidance.” So, instead of saying: avoid bad food, write: eat 2 servings of fruit, and no cookies daily.
