HEALTHIER
IN 2018!
SETTING GOALS: SECRETS TO SUCCESS
Ready to reach your fitness goals? Do you want to get fit, stay fit, or become fitter? Set tangible,
meaningful goals you can achieve each week, each month.
Emily Duval Ledger, a certified personal trainer though the American Council on Exercise (ACE), shares a few
tactics to help you achieve and maintain the body you want.
Write it down! The easiest goals to achieve are those that are clearly defined. Start by setting a goal that is
challenging to meet, but not impossible, and answer these questions:

Check In! About a month in, measure your progress in a way appropriate to your goal, take new
circumference measurements, etc. Then ask yourself:
1. How am I doing? Is this where I thought I’d be at this point?
1. Was my time line realistic for the size of my goal? What small things can I do daily to help my progress?
1. Do I need professional help? If so, call one of our trainers and set an appointment to meet

Variation is key, so change it up, try new things, vary the classes you take and hopefully you’ll find
surprising solutions for getting to where you want to be.

We need to exercise BOTH our brains and our bodies and feed ourselves properly. We feel younger whenever we learn something
new because we are exercising our brain. This can be playing bridge, learning Spanish or learning choreography and beginning to
eat well. If we want to feel younger, we need six days a week of physical exercise, even into our 80s. We do not need 6 days of hard
exercise, but we do need to do something, even a walk or a yoga class. SIX days a week, do something for your body and your brain!
