If you’ve set your New Year’s Resolution, then something fitness related may be included in there.
But it’s hard to start. We all know that.
So how do you begin and how do you stick to your goals?
Ciana Glynn, Holistic Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer and founder of The Wellness Primer has provided her top tips on how to create your fitness goals for 2024.
Here are three tips to help you start and keep going with your fitness journey.
Figure out what you want to accomplish
Ciana says: “There is a lot of noise in the fitness and wellness industry, so it can be overwhelming to know where to even start. Firstly, I would recommend taking some time to yourself and actually think about what it is you truly want.
“What do you want to accomplish with your health? How do you want to look and feel? Is there anything in particular that has been on your mind lately that you want to do but just haven’t yet? Next, write it all down.”
Be SMART
There are many different goal-setting techniques to try, one of the most common ones is called SMART.But what is it?
Well, it stands for:
S be clear and specific on goal
M make it measurable with numbers
A be accurate as possible
R be realistic in specifics
T make a timeframe
There you go!
Have the right resources!
Ciana finally recommends using the right resources to help you along the way.
“Whether that is a pen and pad of paper to write out your progress + check in with yourself regularly, using a fitness or wellness app tailored to your desired goals or more personable working directly with trained fitness professionals to help you further reach your goal(s).
“Using added resources will be a sure way to help you get off to a flying start on your wellness journey!”
