Once you have chosen your activity, write a SMART Goal for it.
Physical RECREATION SMART Goal Example:
I will increase my muscle strength and endurance by participating in a variety of exercises. I will measure my progress by completing a fitness test at the start of my training and then every 3 months until the end of my program recording my results to track my progress. I will strength train 3 times a week for 1 hour and will connect with my assessor monthly to discuss progress and adjust my work out plan as my strength increases.
