Goal-Setting the “SMART” Way  

•	Specific = What exactly do you want to accomplish?  Identify a very specific goal that you have for some area of physical activity (behavioral or performance).
•	Measurable = How will you establish if you’ve met the goal?
•	Action-Oriented = What are you going to do?
•	Realistic = Is the goal achievable for you?
•	Timeline = When will you meet your goal and when will you re-evaluate to see if you’ve met the goal?

Develop a short-term goal (less than 3 months) related to your health and fitness.

S: My goal is to 

M: (How can you measure the above statement to know if you’ve achieved it?) 

A: (What will you do to meet goal?) 

R: (Is this goal realistically achievable for you and why?)  

T: (What date do you project you will you meet this goal?) 

Justify your goal:  Why do you want to accomplish this?
