Setting goals is really important when it comes to sticking to exercise programs. It’s influenced by how we think and behave when we exercise.

Research shows that using SMART goals—smart, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound—can increase the chances of reaching fitness goals by 90%. People who set clear goals are 2 to 3 times more likely to keep up with their exercise compared to those who don’t set any goals.

Benefits of Setting Goals:

1. More Motivation: Having clear goals gives you a reason to work out and keeps you motivated.
2. Better Accountability: When you share your goals with friends or track your progress, you’re more likely to stay committed.
3. Boosted Confidence: Achieving small goals helps build your confidence and makes you want to keep going.

Fun Facts:

• About 70% of people say that setting goals makes them more motivated to work out regularly.
• Studies have found that people who set specific goals are 25% more likely to stick with their exercise routines over six months.

By adding goal setting to your exercise plan, you can stick to your workouts better and improve your overall health!
