Thinking about SMART goals – you know, those that are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely – I am going to try a new approach towards having an exercise plan.
Rather than have something like my first or second plan, that was 7 to 9 weeks long, I am thinking to keeping it just to “one week” – so that I can aim at it “one week at a time.”
And, rather than have it scripted out, I am going to make it more flexible.
Bottom line, my new goal is to get at least 180 minutes of exercise in per week.
Ideally, I would like to spread that out over five days and have it split between the gym and running (75/25). But, if that doesn’t happen, it’s fine as long as I get in the 180 minutes somehow (in any fashion). And, if that means having to spend two hours in the gym and then run for an hour in one day, to get it done, so be it. (Although, that’s an extreme.)
And, of course, if I exceed the 180 minutes, that’s fine. But, I want to get at least 180 minutes done each week.
I am going to start this on July 29th and see how it works out – no pun intended.
