If you do not have a particular goal, then you're principally wasting your time. When you have a concrete goal with an overwhelming desire behind it then everything you do towards that aim will be much more effective. Just by setting the goal you are ten times as sure to hit it.
Have you heard of SMART goals? This is an acronym that stands for five significant pieces of goal setting.
Specific
Is you goal explicit? The straightforward question worth asking yourself if will you know the precise moment you have finished your goal? If your answer is yes, great. If its no, then your goal isn't specific, and you will not know the proper actions to take to hit it.
Measurable
Is your goal measurable? How can you know when you're nearer to your goal then you're now? If you can measure it you can track your results. And with tracking comes improvement.
Actionable
Is your goal actionable? Is this a goal you can do something on? Is it something that is within your powers of control? If it is then you can be proactive about it and it makes for a good goal. If not, you can't do much about it so do not squander your time on it.
Realistic
Is your goal pragmatic? Is it something you can realistically do? If you are 300 lbs. overweight and want to go into the Olympics next year, I am sorry chum, you do not have a chance, unless they make eating an Olympic sport. Whatever it is it has to be pragmatic to you in your consciousness.
Time-sensitive
Is you goal time sensitive? This suggests has it got a deadline. When you set a cut off point you significantly speed up the method of your achievement of that goal. Without a deadline your feat can just move further and further away.
If you cover these five points when for any exercise or sport related goals you have you'll achieve much more.
