Kevin set a goal to make it to the gym 180 days this year. He’s been going to the gym regularly for a while now, but he’s been averaging about three days a week. To make it to the gym 180 days this year he has to go to the gym about 15 days out of the month or four days a week. That’s really only one more day than he is so used to doing, but when it comes to going to the gym it is a big commitment. Often things come up, sometimes he’ll get sick, so four days a week might not always be feasible. He can plan for that by going every day after a week where he wasn’t able to make it all four days.
Staying in shape is important to Kevin. He’s noticed a change in the muscle he’s been able to put on and he’s been feeling great. Next year he plans on increasing the goal but for now he’s happy with the goal he set for himself.
Think about your goals and how you can track them on a weekly or monthly basis. Tracking makes it much more likely that you will reach them in the end.
