When it comes to fitness, goals can be one of the most powerful tools for keeping you motivated and consistent. When you have something to strive toward, you feel the fire in your belly to work hard and keep pushing even when it gets hard. But sometimes, you aren’t even sure what goals to make outside of just “getting into good shape.” And unfortunately, that isn’t specific enough a goal to really be effective.
