The Sweet Spot of SMART Goals * **Chunk Text:** An achievable goal is realistic and possible based on your current fitness level. It helps you stay motivated because you believe you can reach it. * **Detailed Explanation:** If a goal is too easy, you get bored. If it's too hard, you get anxious and quit. "Achievable" is about finding that middle ground where the effort feels rewarding. * **Real-Life Example or Analogy:** It's like playing a video game. If Level 1 is too easy, you stop playing. If Level 2 is impossible to beat, you throw the controller. The game is fun because the next level is just hard enough to be *achievable*.

Progressive Overload * **Chunk Text:** Gradually increasing the intensity or volume of exercise to improve fitness safely. * **Detailed Explanation:** To keep goals achievable over a long period, you must use progressive overload. You don't jump from 10kg to 50kg; you go from 10kg to 12kg. * **Real-Life Example or Analogy:** Think of it like reading a long book. You don't try to read 500 pages in one sitting; you read 20 pages a day. The "Achievable" goal is the daily chapter, not the whole book. --
