When It’s Time to Change Your Goals

With iFit Coach, setting goals is simple. But when is it time to make some adjustments? Whether your goals feel too easy or seemingly unattainable, we have a few ways to make sure you stay on the right track. So let’s get to it!

Weight Goals

Depending on your body metrics and workout settings, you can set your weekly weight goal to lose up to 2 pounds a week. When you’re trying to lose weight, make sure to listen to your body. You will most likely feel hungry. And that’s normal. However, there is a difference between feeling hungry, and constantly feeling weak, dizzy, or lightheaded. If you’re feeling the latter symptoms, it might be helpful to slow down your weight loss and set a more reasonable goal. Even adjusting your weight loss goal by half a pound a week can make a huge difference in how you feel.

Exercise and Nutrition Goals

Your exercise and nutrition goals are directly tied to your weight loss goals. If you’re feeling excessively tired or hungry, try increasing your exercise goal (workout calorie burn) or workout time. This will automatically increase your calorie intake, without interfering with your weight loss goals. Since you’ll burn more, you’ll also get to eat more—a system we love! You can also adjust your workout intensity. The higher the intensity, the more calories you’ll burn in less time. Just try to play around with your goals and preferences to see what works best for you.

Activity Goals

If you’re achieving your steps goal less than 50% of the time, change it. Set your goal to something you feel like you can achieve consistently. Once you’re hitting that goal at least 90% of the time, make a small increase (like 500 steps). Once you’re hitting that consistently, make another small increase. And continue to repeat the process. Over time, you should notice small changes in your routine, as you strive to get more and more steps in throughout the day. And remember, no one is perfect. Odds are you won’t hit your goal every single day, but just stay active and do your best! For creative ideas on how to get more steps in each day, check out this article.

Sleep Goals

While 7–9 hours a night is the recommended amount, this can vary slightly by individual. One of the biggest reasons sleep is so important is because of its influence on your food intake. Low amounts of sleep have been shown to dramatically increase one’s appetite. So if weight loss is your goal, be sure to make sleep a priority. Aim for a consistent bedtime and wake-up time every day in order to hit your goal. Since only 31% of Americans get a sufficient amount of sleep, odds are you need more snooze time. Pick a goal in the 7–9 hour range, then try to stick with it. Good luck with your goals! If you have any questions, leave them down below in the comments. We’d love to answer them for you!
