Mybootcamp Goal Sheet


Take a minute, print this and post it after you fill it out.  If you want to see results, you need to commit to a goal that is important to you.  That’s the why we call it Mybootcamp.  I have to work towards my own goals.  But don’t worry, we’re here to help.

Here at Mybootcamp we try to give you the best experience that we can by programming exercise that makes sense, helping you achieve the best form you can and giving you options so that you have a successful experience every time you come outside to do exercise with us.  Part of helping you have the best possible experience is helping you think about nutrition and physical activity.  You can’t go home and eat poutine and drink soft drinks and expect to see results.  THE REASON WE WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT NUTRITION IS THAT IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK ANY RESOLUTION YOU MIGHT HAVE AROUND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, WEIGHT, OR BODY SHAPE CHANGE.  Sad but true.

Take a minute to think about what your goal is for this month and write it here:



Now, what kind of goals can you set around nutrition and physical activity that will help you work towards, or attain, this goal.

A few things to think about before you write out your options for potential goals this month.
1.     Set a positive (something that you do as opposed to something you avoid) goal you know you can reach- it’s better to do something that you find easy and be successful than to try to do something way too hard and come up short.
2.    Pick one goal at a time in physical activity and nutrition.  Any more goals than that and you hurt your chances of actually following through.
3.    Think about what will get in your way and how you will deal with those things.
4.    Think about who can help you reach your goal.
5.    Think about how you can track your goal (food tracking, weight, bootcamp sessions attended, etc.)



Nutrition:  List a few things that you could do to work towards your nutrition goal.  Pick one:

1._____________________________________________________

2._____________________________________________________

3._____________________________________________________

4._____________________________________________________

5._____________________________________________________

Physical Activity:  We’ve got you covered for resistance training and higher intensity training.  If lower intensity sessions like walks, biking, easy running, or swimming on the other days of the week will help you work towards your goal work them in.  You could also set goals around attending bootcamp regularly, or your intensity level while working at bootcamp.  Remember that it is good to think about how you can track your progress.  Think about the best option to commit to this month.

Remember, these are reasonable goals that you can reach, and will if you commit now and track your progress you can check how you did at the end of the month and set a new short term goal or switch focus.  Work on your goals one month at a time, be specific, and you’ll get to your goals.

If you think that we can help you work towards your goal e-mail back your goals and we can discuss them at the next class.
