Achieving your goals starts with a structured approach. Begin by assessing your current situation and identifying your fitness level through meaningful tests such as resting heart rate and body fat percentage. Set SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Rewarding, and Timely—to establish a clear path to achievement. Identify potential obstacles like time and motivation, and formulate a detailed plan of action for both long-term and short-term goals. Regularly monitor your progress, adjust your strategies as necessary, and stay committed to your success.
