Short-Term Fitness Goals

Written By Elizabeth Upshur

Warm summer weather tends to slow me down. While it’s not an ideal time to start building my fitness levels, it’s an excellent time to establish a regular exercise habit.

With that in mind, these are my fitness goals from now until the end of September:

  • Develop a regular exercise habit

  • Keep workouts enjoyable

  • Maintain an easy to moderate level of difficulty

  • Vary workouts; perform no type of exercise more than twice weekly

  • Use the gym treadmill at least once a week

  • Gradually build to 30-45 minutes of exercise 5-6 times weekly

  • Maintain current weight

  • Be well-positioned to increase workout difficulty in October or November
