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.

Incorrect approach --- I want to shed all those 15 pounds that I gained last year. It is quite possible that this may be taken not so seriously and this is quite vague in the way that you want to shed this extra weight.

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

For correct evaluation the progress should be measurable. You should fix the minimum amount of the fat that you want to lose at fixed interval of time. It will help to record the progress and will also act as a motivation for you to carry out the whole process.

A ---Attainable

The goal that you set needs to be achievable. If you set a goal which is not practical and thus you not being able to achieve would frustrate you. You should give yourself sufficient time to achieve your goal practically and in a healthy manner. You could discuss your goals with people who have achieved them already.

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

Deadline is also essential. Time is an important factor in attaining any goal. A goal like shedding 10 pounds in 4 months is better than losing the extra pounds in 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.
