When it comes to setting a GOAL , it will always be SMART goal. Dont just blindly follow what your friends do cause you guys might have different GOAL
Specific ---- be specific of what do you want to be, whether you are training to be a bodybuilder or just a fitness enthusiast. As for me, i would just aiming to be a fitness enthusiast and aiming for a physique body
This is one of the picture during FIT WHEY CLASSIC 3.0 that happened in BANGKOK on OCT 2014, After this competition, i know that my body wasn't there yet and will be training harder to achieve even better physique, especially focus more on building an OVERALL THICKER body.
Measurable --- how do we measure?? basically what i would look into is by stepping on a TANITA machine and measure on my body fat percentage and muscle mass, my best way to see results is by looking into the mirror. Measure it every month to keep track on your progression and make changes towards your diet or workout if there is no improvement.
Actionable --- be very clear of what do you want and what is your current condition and choose the right workout path for you. If you are aiming for losing weight or burning more fat, weight training plus more cardio exercises , but if you are aiming for building muscle or weight increasing, more weight training with less cardio exercises but do not skip your cardio day.
Realistic --- set a target which is realistic yet in a healthy way. i have seen someone that wanted to gain 10 kg in a month and ended up what they did were eating lot of junks food and caused the tummy bloated( 3 months pregnant) it actually looks ugly yet unhealthy with that appearance. So set your goal which is realistic and keep it in a healthy way as you don't burn fat and build muscle over night.
Timeline --- Its often that i would advice my client to review their goal in 3 months time. It takes time to see result as this sports is all about determination & discipline. The more effort you put , the more you get back. Keep review your progress and make changes toward it so you could achieve better results.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS HAVE A GOAL AND KEEP REVIEWING AS THIS IS ONE IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT HELPS YOU TO GET A BETTER RESULTS INSTEAD OF JUST DOING FOR THE SAKE OF DOING BLINDLY FOLLOWING PEOPLE WHO HAS DIFFERENT GOAL WITH YOU!!!
Besides setting goal, you have to understand which type of body you are as well.
would be talking more into body types next.....
