Have you ever heard someone say that they don’t make goals because not achieving them is merely less disappointment to deal with? While that tactic may work for some, most of us find ourselves wanting something to work towards; something to prove the saying, “You can achieve anything you put your mind to.” Now, whether or not we achieve all of our goals, at least we can say we tried, which is most important.
It’s really important to have goals, especially when it comes to health and fitness, because their existence is a way to focus our attention on self-progression in such a significant aspect of our lives.
This month’s fitmixer® giveaway topic is to help us realize our fitness/health goals and what steps we can take to achieve them.
We’d love to find out all about your health and fitness goals this month. Whether they are short or long-term, list them out! They can be anything from “not eating anything unnatural this week” to “working out three times a week for the rest of my life” – just write them down! Then, list out the steps you can take to achieve those goals. Examples of steps for “not eating anything unnatural this week” could be: “Buy only fresh produce and meats at the store,” “Refuse the neighbor’s weekly goodie drop-off,” and “Put a lock on the pantry and throw away the key!” In other words, list out your means to an end (the “end” being the achievement of a personal goal).
When listing everything out, remember to be realistic (unlike locking up your pantry!), because we all know it’s always easier to give up if we’re not seeing progression towards our goals. Practicality (and persistence) is key.
Lastly, while we’re not going to be able to track your progress on these goals, we encourage and hope you take this assignment seriously. We’d love it if you would drop us an update email to info@fitmixer.com upon achieving any of them!

My goals are: To run a 5k without stopping.
You can do it Angie! I used to hate running, and running a 5k sounded like death. Now I’ve run 3 half marathons and am training for my first full! Stick with it and don’t give up!
It’s a very attainable goal! This was my goal back in April and I can now run double the mileage without stopping and have cut off 4 minutes from my first 5K time. Just stick to a schedule, join a running group, run with a friend….do whatever you need to do!

In response to Alyssa’s goals – you go girl – you got the handstand pushup!!!
My goal is to be more active, and run a mile.
I think that there’s an expression that says “Every mile starts with a single step” … Simply making the goal to run a mile can be your first step! Take every step as it comes and build from your last one. I Fully believe that you can achieve your goal and that you’ll be able to step past that one, make new ones, and be leaving miles of pavement behind you in no time.
If your mind is strong, your body won’t be long in catching up. Stick with it and believe in yourself! 
I like your goal; running that first mile will likely lead to many, many more! good luck!

My goal is to improve my flexibility and strength with yoga since I just got back into a yoga class.
You’ll definitely improve flexibility and strength with yoga! Yoga is something I’d like to get back into myself. Good luck!
That is a wonderful goal. That was my goal as well a few years ago and I now have a regular practice at a studio I love and am now considering going through the teacher training process. One thing that really helped me was making friends and really creating relationships with people practicing with me. It can be such a wonderful and encouraging community if you open up to it – good luck and Namaste:)
Thanks, Amanda and Katie, for the encouragement! I have been loving the practice and the relationships I’ve built with the instructor and the regulars. Katie – your comment is really inspiring and pushes me to want to keep at it. I do feel guilty having given up my kickboxing class, but my body just hurt too much during and after, I didn’t feel that it was worth it. I feel so great after yoga and I think it’s a much better fit, even though the workout is much less intense.

My fitness goals are to complete 3 half marathons in the next 2 months all under 2 hours….whee!!! I havent ran a half since 2010.
My Goal is to push myself harder during workouts. Lately I’ve been letting myself off the hook and taking the easier way out while working out.
My other goal is to cut more sugar out of my diet and to kick mindless eating in the butt!
awesome goal. sometimes i just get into the workout “rut” where I do them but not try to hard. I suggest maybe setting a specific goal (as in 1 pull up more than you think possible or 20 seconds faster than usual). also, if you listen to music while you workout that’s a great way to keep yourself going if you have super upbeat music!
I too don’t push myself hard enough. My new mantra I’ve come up with to overcome this is “You can’t get better if you don’t try to do better now.” It’s all about setting small goals (run one more block, hold the plank for 10 seconds more than last time, etc) I’ve also found that keeping a visual of your goal/improvement helps! Track how much you improve and what your capable of doing now that you weren’t before by making a chart or something of that nature.

My goal is to run a marathon!
wow! is there a certain marathon you’re signed up for? On long runs, grab a friend to come running with you – even if they just meet you partway and only do a few miles with you, it’s always fun to run with a friend and it breaks up the distance a bit
What an awesome goal! I love doing my long training runs as “out and back” runs. It’s a lot easier to trick yourself into going farther if you tell yourself that “I’m just running 5 miles…” and then you get to the end and you are “just running 5 miles and I already did that so I can totally do it again.”
I also just discovered jog.fm – you can find music to match your pace! I’m totally a pace by music person so that was a great find for me and maybe it’ll help you too.

My goal is to be smart about cross training/rest so that my ankle will heal and I can get back into running and activity again. I do have a tough line with excuses (not wanting to swim) vs being smart about rehabbing my ankle – sometimes it’s a fine line!
Lindsay from Lindsay’s List sent me
My fitness goals are to stick to my training schedule, run through the winter (outside), and focus on cross training/strength training more. I plan to make these goals by coming up with my schedule and planning it into my day in advance, buying the proper gear to run in the cold and joining a running group, and starting slow and building up to make this part of my regular exercise schedule.
winter running is a good one! you feel so intense afterwards plus its so much better than the “dreadmill” haha. a running group sounds like a lot of fun. I’d just say make sure to stretch out WELL before heading out into the cold

My fitness goals are: 1) Give 100% effort to the next 8 weeks of Fitmixer Bootcamp, 2) 30 consecutive pushups on toes, 3) 5 consecutive pull ups! My timeline is 8 weeks and I will practice 2&3 twice weekly.
5 consecutive pull ups is such a good goal! i am going to start using less ‘help’ on the pull up machine at my gym to try and get a few unassisted in a row. good luck!
wow I’m impressed you have a time line and it sounds like you’ve got your workouts etc all planned out – good work! sometimes I feel like that’s the hardest part – once I have a workout set out I can usually stick with it.

Eight years ago I ran my first (and last) half marathon. I was undertrained and completely unprepared. I vowed I would stick to 10Ks and relays from that point on. But . . . times have changed. My goal fitness goal this month is to get ready to make my return to the half marathon. I’ve committed to run one with my sister next month!
woohoo! you can totally conquer the half marathon! and that’s awesome you’re running with your sister – having a training buddy is always more fun and keeps me accountable. Find a good plan (I like hal higdon’s) and stick with it!

my goals are to keep up my workout routine (lifting 2-3 days a week, running or other cardio 3-4 days a week) as i move into college! i also want to keep up my healthy eating habits and work hard to find healthy dorm food because i know it is available. i’m going to achieve this by signing up for a group fitness class pass this quarter and by always having healthy snacks in my room (greek yogurt, protein bars, almond butter, fruit, protein powder to make shakes) so that i don’t get too hungry in between meals. i also want to get 7-8 hours of sleep a night (a big task for a college student!) since that always gives me more energy to work out and more focus when studying!
Such good goals! I know that I always do better with some sleep under my belt! I don’t know about you, but I always do better when I have some sort of training schedule that I write out, even if it means taking the time Sunday night to plan out my week in terms of classes, meetings, exercise.

My immediate goals are to train for my 5k in October. Usually I don’t train well and although I complete the 5k (walk/run) I feel it for days afterwards. I also want to work on increasing my strength while losing the flab. I stopped working out a few months ago and notice the different in my upper arms and upper thighs.
I don’t know if you have a plan you are following for training, but running/walking intervals are actually a really effective way to build endurance for beginner runners. The real key is to make a schedule, stick to it, and make sure to get some cross training in. You can use the cross training time to do some strength exercises and help with your second goal. Good luck!

My goals include: being consistent this semester with going to the gym, resting my brain (in other words….sleep!) because being stressed out and not sleeping enough are not a great combo, and last but not least, be happy (life is too short not to be).
I really relate to your goals! Plenty of rest and releasing stress and just plain finding ways to just BE HAPPY are so incredibly important! Deep breathing and yoga help me out with this. Meditating on living your best and most positive life creates more happiness in my everyday existence.
Good luck!

My health and fitness goal is to routinely wake up bright and early at 5 AM and get myself to the gym for some fun exercise class of my choice 5 days week. I will achieve this by going to bed by 10 PM and switching up the classes for excitement. The classes will include: hot yoga, strength/endurance classes, body pump and spin. I will stay motivated by giving myself plenty of leeway if something else comes up. For example, I was having way too much fun the night before so sleep is more important the next morning and instead of the gym, I will find another fun activity to do instead! The means to the end of my goal is to become a lot stronger and build up my endurance so that I can possibly consider training others since exercise truly is a passion of mine, I just haven’t trained myself consistently enough for that to be possible yet.

My Goal is to do one unassisted pull up. I need to do more upper body strength training, at least 2 sessions a week, to achieve my goal.

I would like to be able to do a FULL competition burpee- as in ,doing the push up at the bottom on my toes, as opposed to dropping to my knees to do the push up.
So I need to keep practicing ,and woking on my upper body strength!

My goals are to change up my workout, get in the pool more and strengthen my abs. The steps I need to take to achieve them are to post them on my fridge and on my blog. I have been thinking about these goals, but it does help me to get them on paper and out in cyberspace so I can be held accountable for my goal setting!

One of my fall health/fitness goals is to wake up at 5 AM, five times a week and do an exercise of my choice. Ex: go for a run, go to the gym for a spin class, strength/endurance class, yoga, pilates, etc. I definitely want to keep fit through the cold weather and holidays!

One of my fall fitness goals is to add a third day in of crossfit. I make it twice a week, and want to push myself for one more day each week. My strength as improved and I feel adding an extra day will make a difference.
My fitness goal is to gain muscle! More strength and fill out so I can look “fit” instead of skinny when I get lean.
