SMART Personalised Fitness

Turning your SMART goals into amazing results! What are SMART goals? Specific – ‘I want to lose weight’ Measurable – ‘I want to lose 10kg’ Attainable – ‘I want to lose 10kg by eating well and being active’ Realistic – ‘I want to lose 10kg by eating well and being active, and I will be able to work out 4 times each week’ Timed – ‘I want to lose 10kg in 3 months by eating well and being active, and I will be able to work out 4 times each week’ During your journey your goals may change but the SMART principle remains the same. We would all love to say ‘I want to lose 30kg in 5 weeks, eat carbohydrates for every meal and train only once a week’.

The answer is - anything you want, the sky is the limit.

My advice would be – dream big and stay with it. You never know what the next 3 years could bring...
