a) What is one overall (and major) long-term goal of your exercise program you’d like to achieve in the next 6 months? Would you like to lose some weight? If yes, how much weight per month for the next 6 months?

b) What are some short-term goals you’d like to attain on a daily and weekly basis? Think this through and then answer these questions: Do you want to be active each week? If so, how many days per week would you like to do some physical activity? How many minutes per day would you like to exercise? Do you want to join a fitness facility or sign up for an exercise class? If so, when do you want this to begin? Do you want to eat more of a heart-healthy diet? Go ahead, write down all of these short-term goals.

After you’ve done this, evaluate your goals and determine the best way to manage and organize your plan of action. Sometimes it helps to schedule a meeting with a certified fitness professional to discuss your goals. If this is not an option, you may wish to choose a close friend who you feel will help you achieve success. Ask this person to read your goals and provide sincere, constructive, nonjudgmental feedback. Finally, both of you should sign your personal contract when it is complete. It helps when you commit yourself to your goals and have the other person sign, too, because this shows you are accountable to this person.
