Making Goals Specific
Avoid vague goals like "get fit"
Make it precise: "Lose 10 lbs in 3 months by following a workout/nutrition plan"
Measurable Goals

Use FarmFit app to log workouts, track lifts, etc.
Celebrate small wins along the way
Achievable Goals
Set realistic goals that challenge but don't discourage you
