In this activity, you will use the knowledge you have gained in this unit to determine a fitness goal for yourself.
Step 1: First Step
Choose an appropriate fitness goal that you can accomplish within the next two months. Remember, your goal could be performance-related, challenge-related, or built to target your weight/body composition.
Step 2: Assess Your Goal
Determine your answers these two questions.
What is your goal?
Your goal should be specific and measurable.
2. Is it specific to your needs?
3. Is it realistic for you?
Step 1: My goal is to improve my cardiovascular endurance by running a 5K race within the next two months.
Step 2:
1. Yes, my goal is specific and measurable. Running a 5K race is a concrete event that I can train for and track my progress towards.
2. Yes, this goal is specific to my needs. I want to improve my cardiovascular endurance, and running is a great way to do that.
3. Yes, this goal is realistic for me. I currently have a basic level of fitness and I have enough time to train and prepare for a 5K race within the next two months. However, I will need to create a training plan and gradually increase my running distance to ensure I am properly prepared for the race.
