What goals work best?

Setting goals

Write down specific goals with dates. Goals can be lost inches, lost weight, feeling better, better attitude etc. Next, write down your plan on how you will achieve those goals. If you don't reach your goals by the date specified, either your goals were unrealistic or your plan didn't work. You may need a better plan; a personal trainer can help you.
