may you please select two areas you feel you'd like to improve by using the SMART goal criteria you learned about in the unit and write out two specific goals you'd like to set as part of your overall fitness plan and write out three strategies that will help you achieve each of you goals. What will you do to make sure you keep working toward these goals?
also write a plan for how you will monitor your goals for both short-term and long-term success. write it in a short paragraph
Goal 1: Improve cardiovascular endurance by increasing the time spent running on the treadmill from 20 minutes to 30 minutes within 4 weeks.
Strategies:
1. Increase running time gradually by adding 2 minutes each session.
2. Incorporate interval training to improve speed and endurance.
3. Track progress by keeping a workout journal to monitor improvements in time and distance covered.
Goal 2: Increase strength and muscle tone by incorporating weight training exercises into my routine twice a week for the next 8 weeks.
Strategies:
1. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the intensity as strength improves.
2. Include a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups.
3. Work with a personal trainer to ensure proper form and technique.
To monitor my short-term goals, I will track my progress weekly by recording the duration of my runs and the weights used during weight training sessions. For long-term success, I will measure improvements in cardiovascular endurance and muscle tone every 4 weeks by comparing results from initial assessments. Additionally, I will seek feedback from my personal trainer to assess overall progress and adjust my fitness plan as needed.
