Train Smart!

The goal of Ruff Fitness is to bring clients the latest in "cutting edge" science based training, helping each client improve their fitness and ability to move to new heights regardless of where they are starting from. Our goal is to empower every client - with improved fitness, confidence and self-esteem. What steps or strategies can you use to make sure you get the most out of your training?

One successful strategy is to set SMART goals. These can be both short and long term. These goals should include the following:

Specific - Narrow down what you hope to achieve. When and how will you accomplish your goal? Determine small milestones along the way and celebrate when you reach them. 

Measurable - How can you determine improvement? Include ways to gauge your success. This could be time spent exercising, body fat, distance traveled, pounds lifted, classes attended etc.

Achievable - Make sure your goals are realistic – before you can run a marathon you should run a 10K. Set a goal that is reachable yet causes you to go beyond what you’re currently doing.

Relevant - The goal has to be important to you. Examine your inner motivation and be passionate about what you want to achieve.

Timely - Successful behavior change doesn’t happen overnight – it takes time and effort. Break your goal into manageable segments with a realistic time frame for accomplishing each.
