S.M.A.R.T Goals

Do you have goals? Hopefully so.  They could be work goals, personal goals, short-term, long-term, etc.

What are your health and fitness goals?  How do you define them?  Is your goal simply to be healthy, or to get in shape, or just eat better?  Having goals are essential for success, but your goals have to be S.M.A.R.T.

When you make goals are they: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely?  Are you trying to be healthy or are you trying to run a mile in under 10 minutes by the end of this month?  Do you want to lose weight, or is it your goal to lose 5 pounds next month during the Paleo challenge?  Are you trying to get strong, or have you set a long term goal to get a double bodyweight back squat in 6 months by squatting twice a week?  See where this is going?

2012 is right around the corner, so what are some of your S.M.A.R.T goals?
