Smart - what it means?

The Smart is a goal which is in the form of an acronym. Smart can be interpreted as specific, Measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. We shall now talk about each of these attributes so that we can successfully reach our targets.

S---Specific

When you are setting a goal, ensure that it is not vague but specific. The goal must be clear and easily identifiable. A vogue objective can never set you on the right course. It may often require a series of objectives leading to a goal to be followed and attained. It will be a practical and scientific approach to a specific issue which is your goal. An example will make this clear.

Mistaken idea - if you gain 10 extra pounds and want to shed it off at one it will be a wrong idea. It does not have any specific objective and goal therefore it is likely that thegoal will be dropped off soon.

Correct idea - if you aim to lose the weight slowly with procedure and specific guideline then it will be a right approach.

Thus the second approach would make you more responsible towards your target.

M---Measurable

The advancement made needs to be measured, so that you could evaluate your achievement. The goal is losing 15 pounds, thus you need to measure how much you need to lose weekly or fortnightly. Thus if you see positive results, after you measure progress would motivate you further.

A ---Attainable

You should set practical goals. If you set goals that are not practical and are impossible to attain then you will be frustrated to carry out the whole process. The time should also be proportional to the goal o the process remains healthy and practical. If you are not confident enough then you can take the suggestion of the experts.

R ---Realistic

You may aim high but aim in such a way that you can achieve the goals that you set, and they are attainable. Your confidence would get a boost if the goal you set even though high can be achieved and thus would keep you on the correct path.

T--- Time

A deadline would always create urgency. Thus you need to set your goals against time. You need to be specific in saying whether you want to lose 15 pounds in 3 months or to lose some extra weight in the next few months.

Your success in your efforts would depend on the way you set your goals for fitness and how serious and motivated you are to achieve them.
