- SMART Goals & Our Physical Wellness BothMake Up Our Future!
- Body fat is the amount of fat we have on our body and we should want to watch our body fat and know the positives of having a healthy body fat percentage and how we can reach it. Positives of having healthy body fat are stronger bones, a longer life expectancy, and higher metabolism, along with prevention against diseases.
- There are five main physical components of wellness which are body fat, composition, flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance.
- Muscular endurance is how long we can manage a low weight for a longer period. An example of muscular endurance is pulling yourself above a bar for as long as you can. With the improvement of muscular endurance, you can increase your energy levels, it can assist in weight, and improve your sleep.
- Flexibility is how we move and adjust our body at a certain degree of motion. Being flexible has many positives such as having better flowing movements, having good posture, improving athletic performance, and preventing injury. Negatives can range from problems with the body such as the neck, back, and shoulders to the risk of pulled muscles if you aren’t that flexible.
- Cardiovascular endurance can be associated with activities such as walking quickly, swimming, and biking. Cardiovascular endurance is when the body works quickly and efficiently for a short period, similar to muscular endurance. Cardiovascular endurance can increase your heart rate, bone strength, lower your blood pressure, and lower your risk of heart disease.
- Lastly, muscular strength is a large amount of weight for a short time. An example of muscular strength is lifting 170-pound weights for 3 minutes. Muscular strength can improve weight management, lower the risk of getting a disease, and help with balance and help with performing everyday tasks. All these different aspects go into the idea of physical wellness.
- Throughout life, we have long-term and short-term goals that we want to achieve. These goals are important towards our wellness, but what can make these goals easier to achieve is that we can use SMART goals, known as specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound goals.
- The first step of making a SMART goal is to make the goal specific by knowing exactly what you want with your goal and what you want to accomplish. An example would be, “I will complete all my homework by tonight.”
- For making your goal measurable you would want to put a numerical value onto your goal to know and track your goal and your progress on it. Now you have to think about if your goal is achievable and realistic. Something unrealistic would be “I will lose 7 pounds by the end of today”.
- With making a relevant goal you should make your goal as close to the situation you’re in. And lastly, for time-bound, you want to have a deadline for your goal so you can be motivated and work toward it. “I will go on a walk every day at 7 am.” is a great example of what a SMART goal would be!
