Sticking to your fitness goals can be so tough! This year, let’s change the game. We're here to guide you through creating solid fitness plan that will not only stick, but also enhance your vitality and well-being.  (Find Your Printable Goal Setting Template below.)

Step 1:  Understand Your Fitness Rut

The first step to a successful goal setting is understanding why so many of us fall off the wagon. Often, it’s not about the goal itself, but how we approach it. Unrealistic targets, lack of planning, and waning motivation are common culprits. Questions to ask yourself to help you learn from your past:

1. What specific aspects of my goal-setting approach might be leading me astray from achieving my fitness aspirations?

2. How realistic and achievable are the targets I set for myself, and what steps can I take to make them more manageable?

3. In what ways can I sustain my motivation over time and effectively plan to overcome obstacles that have hindered my progress in the past?

Step 2: Set Achievable Goals

• Be Specific and Realistic: Rather than vague resolutions like "I want to be healthier," opt for specific goals like "I will incorporate a 30-minute walk into my daily routine".

• Break It Down: Large goals can be overwhelming. Break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. For example, if your goal is to eat healthier, start by introducing one fruit or vegetable into each meal.

• Set Measurable Milestones: Establish clear, quantifiable benchmarks to track your progress. For instance, if you aim to improve fitness, set a goal like "run a 5K without stopping by June." This provides a tangible target to work towards and measure your progress against.

Step 3: Track Your Progress

• Journaling: Keep a daily log of your progress. Did you take your Oomph Multi-Vitamin Gummy today? Did you complete your 30-minute walk? This will help you stay accountable.

• Celebrate Small Wins: Every step forward is a win. Celebrated these moments to maintain motivation.

• Regular Check-Ins: Set aside a specific time each week to review your progress. This could involve assessing what went well, what challenges you faced, and adjusting your plans accordingly. Regular self-assessment helps you stay on track and adapt your strategies to be more effective.

Step 4: Create Your Support System

• Community Support: Share your goals with friends, family, or the Oomph community. Having a support system can significantly increase your chances of sticking to your resolutions.

• Expert Guidance: Utilize resources like the Oomph blog for tips, or consider joining online forums for additional support.

• Seek Accountability Partners: Partner with a friend or a member of the Oomph community who has similar goals. Regularly update each other on your progress, challenges, and successes. This mutual accountability can be a powerful motivator and a source of encouragement on your journey.

Step 5: Sustain Your Progress

As months bleed in from one to the next, the initial excitement of starting a fitness journey can start to wane. This is the crucial period where the right strategies can make or break your success.

1. Stay Flexible: It’s okay to adjust your goals. If you find a goal isn’t fitting into your lifestyle as you thought it would, tweak it. Flexibility can be the key to long-term success.

2. Overcome Obstacles: You will face challenges. Anticipate them and think about strategies to overcome them. For instance, if you can’t go out for a walk due to bad weather, have a backup plan like a quick indoor workout.

Step 6: Reflect and Revise

As you progress, take time to reflect:

• What’s Working?: Identify the strategies that are helping you succeed.

• What’s Not?: Recognize the aspects that aren’t working and need modification.

• Seek Feedback: Sometimes, an external perspective can provide valuable insights. Don’t hesitate to ask for feedback from friends, family, or mentors about your approach and progress. Their observations might highlight areas for improvement or reaffirm the strategies that are working well for you.
