Setting realistic health goals: Avoid unrealistic expectations and start with smaller, achievable commitments for a sustainable and long-term approach to health goals
When setting new health goals, it's essential to avoid an all-or-nothing approach. Instead, aim for a more sustainable and realistic plan. The first mistake people make is setting unrealistic expectations, such as committing to five days of intense workouts per week. A more intelligent approach is to start with smaller, achievable commitments, like working with a coach twice a week, and filling in the rest of the week with shorter, easier activities like walking or doing mobility work. By setting realistic goals and building a sustainable routine, you'll be more likely to stick with your health goals in the long term.
