Most people this time of year have got a fitness goal that they are working towards. Usually it involves a goal with a number at the end of it, as in "I want to lose 10 pounds" or "I want to lose 10 inches" etc.
On top of that, people want to attain this goal by tomorrow, if not faster. But big goals are hard to accomplish instantly and when people don't achieve them, they are often disheartened and give up.
Fitness specialists advise that the best way to get around this problem is to have smaller goals, which are easier to attain. So instead of thinking about losing 10 pounds, consider losing 1-2 pounds a week. That goal is achievable and is easier to work with. This type of goal is also healthier because people who lose big amount of weight usually lose muscle, which slows their metabolism.
With an attainable goal in mind, it's easier to get up off the couch and get moving! It works for me!
