One of the subjects we talk about a lot in coaching is smart goals, or rather SMARTER goals;

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Relevant
• Time-bound
• Evaluate [once time limit reached]
• Record [Achieved? Further work required? Still relevant?]

The goal is where you are going, the actions provide the steps to get there. So January’s actions for me;

• Create/Find a workout plan for each body area ✅
• Create/Find a fat burn workout ✅
• Alternate between a body area workout and fat burn workout, cycling through all body areas, 1 workout per day, Sundays are rest days ✅
• Bookend workouts with interval training runs on the treadmill ✅

1 week in, 6 workouts down, 1 Sunday of rest. Weight loss is slightly ahead of target for my goal of losing 30lb in 12 weeks, but that’s good because it’ll get harder the further down the road I get!
