Bridal Fitness 101 : Be S.M.A.R.T.


So, now that you're moving, you're on your way to your goals. . . hey, wait! What are your goals? You do have goals, don't you? What exactly are you trying to accomplish with your fitness program?

That brings us to:

Bridal Fitness Commandment #2: Thou shalt create SMART fitness goals.

Whether your desire is to loose weight, spot-tone (not spot reduce!), increase your stamina, or just to feel great, without a plan your efforts will be scattered and inefficient. You've heard it before, "Fail to plan, plan to fail." What you need are S.M.A.R.T. goals: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.

For more information on developing your SMART goals check out this article on our website, “Create S.M.A.R.T. Fitness Goals.”

To Do Item: Develop up to 3 actionable fitness goals that you can begin and accomplish in a set period of time based on your wedding date. Break long term goals into short weekly or monthly increments. Set end dates for each increment and what will be achieved by that time. Fit Lifestyle ideas include drinking a certain amount of water each day, specific days to workout consistently, limiting certain food amounts or servings per week, etc. If your goals include weight loss, limit the amount lost per week to about 2 pounds (8-10 pounds per month). Remember, start early, do it healthy!
