Helping Your Clients with Setting Achievable Goals
If you go through any advertising material on the Sunshine Coast touching on losing weight, you will come across tons of information promising results that are unrealistic. From going in for the latest diets to burning off pounds in a few weeks, such suggestions and practices could lead to dramatic and what could be worse, dangerous results. From your experience in personal training on the Sunshine Coast you will immediately know all the dos and don’ts that should be applied to shedding weight.
Get fit – not just slim
Many people join workout classes on the Sunshine Coast with the sole idea of dropping pounds. While this in itself is not the wrong choice, just dropping pounds is not going to achieve what you really need, which is to become fit. So as a personal trainer when people approach you with unrealistic expectations you should inform them that what is more important than just losing weight, is that they should use the workouts to achieve a healthy and fit lifestyle.
Negative impacts of setting unachievable goals
When people focus only on losing weight and are not very successful, they may end up going into a depressive state. It is the negative impact that hits them, just like the non-occurrence of any other positive dreams they may have.
So it is important as a personal trainer that you help the client to set a goal that is achievable in his or her particular case. As an experienced fitness trainer you need to let the client know that losing weight is part of reaching the goal, not the actual goal itself.
Given below are some ‘S-M-A-R-T’ ideas for achievable fitness goals.
“S”pecific: The client must be specific with regard to the goal he or she would like to reach. It should also be one that is achievable. Specific would include ‘what the end result would be’ and the reaction of the client.
‘M’easurable: To achieve any goal clients need to know how long, it will take to reach it – in other words is it measurable? This is important as if they have no idea of how far off the goal is they will not know when they have reached it!
‘A’ttainable: When a goal is set, it should be one that is challenging, yet conquerable. So when clients set their goals to drop weight, they should be guided as to whether they can actually reach the specified goal.
‘R’elevant: In other words, are the goals set, realistic? Working out requires both time and resources so whatever goal is set it should be feasible within the above mentioned requirements.
‘T’imely: Once a date is set to reach a goal, it will automatically involve a time limit. This means the client concerned will have to be totally motivated if he or she wishes to achieve the goal successfully. Keeping this in mind as the personal trainer you will need to guide the client as to how realistic a time limit should be given for setting a goal.
Goals should be set in a time limit in which they are attainable. If the goal cannot be reached say within a period of three months or so, the client should be kept on track by fixing smaller goals along the way.
