Goal Setting

Setting goals is an important aspect to make meaningful improvements in the activities you will be participating in.  SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reasonable, and Time-sensitive. When you set your goals, make sure you consider your interests and what your strengths and weaknesses are.


The following are some examples of SMART goals.

  • This month, I will walk on the treadmill four times a week for 40 minutes at an incline of 4.5.
  • This month, I will stretch for 10 minutes after every single activity.
  • This month, I will golf nine holes after school twice a week.
  • This month, I will practice my dance for the Shall We Dance? Project three times each week for 15 minutes.
  • This month, I will work on my foul shots for 10 minutes after each practice.


 Note: Goals that use a measure of weight loss or weight gain WILL NOT be accepted. Instead, make a goal which states the behavior change you wish to make.  Examples are: weight lifting 3 times per week, walking 5 days per week or doing cardio 6 days per week with a minimum of 60 minutes per session.
