Do these seem like realistic goals

If you aren’t exercising at all perhaps start setting your goals on the time you’ll commit toward the goals each week instead of timelines to achieve a level of mastery in each.

For example: if your current cardio is zero commit to 20 minutes 3 times this week. If you can currently do 10 push-ups, commit to do 10 on 3 different days this week. Then increase time or frequency as you achieve each goal. Next week could be 11 pushups and 25 minutes cardio.

If running is one of your goals and you aren’t currently running, I highly recommend the couch to 5k program. It is a 9 week program for beginner runners. I recommend building a walking base first of 30 minutes per day several days per week.

Just want to find out if people think these are realistic goals going forward. Currently I am not exercising at all.

In3 months I want to be able to do 30 pushups, 30 situps and run 3KM

In 6 months I want to have increased all my weights by 30 percent and run 5km

In 12 months I want to hav increased all my weights by 50 percent and run 10km

I think there are too many variables to really give you an honest answer. What is your current weight and height? Are you obese or just out of shape? Did you used to be athletic and just fell off, or have you never been athletic? Are you going to be trying to lose weight with an aggressive deficit, maintain, or bulk? All of these things factor heavily into how quickly you will be able to achieve your goal.

I think having goals are a good thing, and you can certainly set those goals for yourself. It's just important that you don't take them as things that are set in stone. If you do, then you are more likely to fall off if you don't hit them. Maybe you can hit your first goal in 2 months. Maybe it will take 4. Or 6. Or a year. The time it takes to travel the distance isn't what is important. That you stay with the path is. So keep up with your plan, and push the timing of your goals if they end up not being realistic for you. But better to try and make progress than not try at all.

In 6 months you want to have increased all you weights be 30% but from what? 0? From what weights are you starting and would like to improve? Don't let fretting over a "goal" prevent you from starting.

It all depends where you're starting from.
Running, depending on your size and how far you can walk, all goals are definitely achievable, I went from nothing at all to a half marathon in 9months, and that was at 200lb (around 50lb overweight).

Push ups and sit ups, again where are you now? Can you even do one? I'm am older female and I can probably do 30 full push ups at a push, but it's taken me more than 3 months to get to that point (on knees, or using a step I can do 100). Sit ups are easier (for me anyway), and you should have no problems as long as you have a base.

Strength training - again it depends where you are starting from. When I started out I could probably have got that 30% increase with the big 4 lifts every month. Now I'd be lucky to see it in a year, heck with shoulder press I'll be lucky to see it in 2 years. But that's because I've been strength training for a good couple years and am now only progressing in tiny increments

Those are very realistic goals if you set your mind (and more importantly you diet/recovery) to task. Get on it bro
