Evening Hello Team

Congratulations on such a great job you have done in accomplishing your goals for March! Well Done!

Hope you will join me this next month.

I have some tips and thoughts about Nutrition and Fitness using the SMART Goals Plan to help you as you plan out your next Months Goals.

Hope you will find it useful as you aim to put some of these ideas into your monthly goals!

As always I Stand with you and Cheer you on your Healthy Journey!

The Following is some Thoughts and Suggestions for you:

Looking at Realistic Goals in Fitness and Nutrition:

5 Health Goals Worth Sticking To

* Practice Self-Care. Self-care is about taking care of yourself to improve your emotional, physical and mental well-being. ...
* Get Moving With Mobile Health Apps. It's no secret that daily exercise can improve your health. ...
* Ditch the Diets. ...
* Eat Your Fruits and Veggies. ...
* Fuel Up On Superfoods.

What are the 4 main goals of fitness?

The Most Common Fitness Goals and how to Reach Them

* Get healthy in body and mind to live a longer and more fulfilled life.
* Lose weight/fat.
* Gain weight/gain muscle.
* Lose fat and gain muscle

What are smart goals in fitness?

SMART stands for

1. specific,
2. measurable,
3. attainable,
4. relevant,
5. and timelyβ€”
6. all of which are important in reaching a fitness objective.

SMART goals can help keep you on track and remind you of your priorities, so you're able to follow through with every workout or healthy meal you have planned

What are examples of SMART goals for nutrition?

An example of a more specific SMART goal could be, β€œI will eat one piece of fruit at lunch and at least one vegetable with dinner during the work week.” Not only is it specific, but it also helps to give you specific instructions on what foods you will be eating and exactly when you will be eating them.

8 Goals to Healthy Eating

* Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. ...
* Make half the grains you eat whole grains. ...
* Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk. ...
* Choose a variety of lean protein foods. ...
* Compare sodium in foods. ...
* Drink water instead of sugary drinks. ...
* Eat some seafood. ...
* Cut back on solid fats.

Hope the above pointers help you as you plan out what works for you and how you will put these pointers into practice this next month.

So who is with me?

Let’s have a successful April and Finish Strong!

Team Goals #1 For Nutrition

- aim to drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water or more per day
- Track your calories per day
- Aim to eat 5 servings in a combo of fruits and veggies you choose
- Cut back on sugar
- Eat at least 25 grams of Fibre per day

Team Goal # 2

- Set a goal in how much weight you want to lose, or if you are on maintenance aim to maintain your optimal weight for the entire month) for me it is to maintain or gain some weight)
- Aim to Focus on Cardio at least 5 days a week at least 30 minutes or more per day
