Your goal is about right now in your life Including too many things in your goal May be hard to actually do all of them

Goal Setting Project: 30 Minutes of Excercise Mrs. Riley

My smart goal Starting 9/21 through 10/23, I will increase my weekly workouts by rigorously walking, biking or completing a water aerobics class for a minimum of 30 minutes three times a week by setting aside time in the late afternoon.

Actions (using a calendar to track): I exercised 3 times a week and checked my exercise dates off on a calendar. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday 9/21 9/22 X 9/23 9/24 9/25 9/26 9/27 9/28 6/29 9/30 10/1 10/2 10/3 10/4 10/5 10/6 10/7 10/8 10/9 10/10 10/11 10/12 10/13 10/14 10/15 10/16 10/17 10/18 10/19 10/20 10/21 10/22 10/23 ________

3 Successful Parts 1 One successful part of my goal setting project I experienced was sleeping better due to my consistent exercise. 2 A second successful part of my goal setting project was having more energy throughout my day due to consistent exercise. 3 A third successful part of my goal setting project was utilizing equipment I had already spent money on. I was taking advantage of my investment.

Problem(s) On some Tuesdays and Thursdays I had late meetings which made it difficult for me to exercise on those specific days. I got sick and that prevented me from exercising.

Solutions To My Problem If I missed a day of exercise due to meetings, I would work to make up those 30 minutes the next day, or another day in the week so I could still check off 3 days a week. There wasn’t much I could do to prevent myself from getting sick. Again, I tried to make sure I got 3 days of exercise each week even if not on Tues, Thurs and Sat.

Possible Changes I think I chose a good goal. If I were to change anything, I would change things to make myself more successful such as leaving a reminder or encouragement note on the fridge. I might also get a walking buddy so I would be more likely to go out and exercise. ______________________________________ You can also discuss specific ways you’d write your goal differently (IE: change # of times you’d do the goal or the days you said you’d work on the goal.

Personal Gain I provided myself with accountability which encouraged me to complete my goal. I gained noticeable health benefits by working on my goal as noted in my successes. My favorite was sleeping better.

Effort and Success I completed 11 out of 14 days of my exercise goal. That is a success rate of 79%.
