Just a reminder that SMART goals are not as empirically sound as you might think they are (at least for physical activity and exercise). Full article: The (over)use of SMART goals for physical activity promotion: A narrative review and critique www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Next Podcast!!! Just had a great conversation with Ali Sanders, Olympian turned Helicopter Emergency Services Medic - coming up on the @supportchampions.bsky.social Podcast next week!

Simplest fitness programme; 1. Do exercise you enjoy 2. Exercise everyday 3. Prioritise aerobic exercise most days, even if it is as simple as a walk 4. Add resistance work 2-3 /wk 5. If you want to add challenge, inc areas you avoid, eg HIT, leg weights 6. If not enjoying it, go back to 1.
