Setting Crushable Goals

Progress, Not Pressure

So you’ve survived the mid-year slump. You dusted off the rust, recharged and are ready to get back on track.

However, energy with no direction is…. simply just noise. If you want to feel results, you need goals you can realistically hit, not willy-nilly ones that live rent-free in your head.

For those that haven’t yet bounced back check out click here for tips.

“Achievable” vs “Aesthetic”

Way more than we’d like, we chase goals that sound good but are actually hindering our success.

• Abs in four weeks → unrealistic
• Run 10km every day → recipe for burnout
• Carbs will never cross my lips → caught buying bread in two weeks tops

Achievable goals = sustainable growth.

With achievable goals, you’ll be motivated, consistent and most important balanced.

Setting Goals That Stick

Btw (by the way boomer) we at Gr8r call it The Bounce Back Blue Print 😉

1. Keep It Specific

“Get fit” is vague. “Squat 50kg” or “walk 5 days a week” is specific.

The love affair between your brain and clarity is cosmic.

2. Make It Measurable

Track your reps, your time, your weight lifted, calories burned, or just how many days you were active for 30 mins or more.

If you can’t measure it, you can’t celebrate the win.

3. Stay Realistic

Life’s busy. Mid-year fatigue reminded us of that. Don’t set goals that feel like punishment.
👉 30 minutes of focused training beats 2 hours you’ll never show up for.

4. Break It Down

Big goals feel heavy. Slice them into bite-sized wins.
“Lose 10kg this year” → Focus on 1kg at a time.
“Run 5km” → Start with 1km and build.

5. Timing is EVERYTHING

Deadlines keep you sharp. Whether it’s 4 weeks, 3 months, or by December—give yourself a target

SMART Goals Made Fun

Yes SMART goals are usually presented in a business sense. But the beauty of this life is that a concept such as this can be applied in other aspects.

“I want to lose weight”
“I’ll lose 4kg in 8 weeks by lifting 3x a week and walking daily.”
