Exercise – Resistance Training

Physical exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. It can help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic diseases, and improve your mood and mental health when incorporated into your routine. By incorporating resistance training into your physical activity routine at least twice a week, you can improve your bone density, muscle mass, and injury prevention. This SMART goal is designed to help you achieve that. By recording the type, duration, and intensity of your resistance training sessions, using equipment, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges, starting resistance training this week, and continuing for at least three months, you can make resistance training a part of your physical activity routine.

Example:

S: Incorporate resistance training into my physical activity routine at least twice a week.
M: Record the type, duration, and intensity of my resistance training sessions.
A: Use equipment, resistance bands, or bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges.
R: Resistance training will improve my bone density, muscle mass, and injury prevention. T: Start resistance training this week and continue for at least three months.
