8 steps to successfully achieve your 2025 health and fitness goals
Step 1 - Set SPECIFIC, REALISTIC goals
1a) Be clear about your goal. More specificity = more clarity. E.g, “drop 2 dress sizes” or “lose 3-5 inches off my waist” is more specific and measurable than “lose weight”.
1b) The goal should be achievable. It’s important to be realistic and not overcommit. 2-3 months of exercise won’t counteract the last 10 years of being out of shape. Small steps lead to long-term success.
Step 2 - Break the goal down
Break your goal down into smaller, manageable goals to make it less overwhelming. E.g, if your goal is to lose around 20kg and it’s going to take 10 months, you can break this down into a monthly target of -2kg, and a weekly target of -0.5kg.
Then you would break this goal down even further and plan the daily actions that you need to take to achieve that, e.g. 10k steps per day, 3 training sessions per week, track your food intake.
Step 3 - Set deadlines
Set deadlines to keep you accountable. Take a look at your calendar and check events like milestones, holidays, weddings, birthdays, etc, and plan where you need to be by that time or if you should alter the plan.

Step 4 - Plan your routine
In the early days, CONSISTENCY trumps everything else. Create a routine that you can realistically stick to, even when your motivation wanes, or when you have other competing demands on your time.
Trying to train 5 days per week when you have children and a full-time job may lead to burnout and eventually throwing the towel in.
The majority of my clients will do a 60-min full body workout just 3 times per week and try to increase their daily movement.
Step 5 - Track your progress
Here are some metrics that my clients track daily:
- Daily body weight in the morning.
- Training progress - weights lifted/repetitions.
- Total daily steps using a smartwatch.
- Health data (sleep, stress, digestion, etc).
- Body fat percentage every two weeks.
- Body tape measurements every two weeks.
- Progress pictures every one to two weeks.
Seeing your progress in many forms will help keep you motivated especially when you don’t feel like you’re changing.
Step 6 - Stay flexible
Committing to a health and fitness plan is like trying to fly a plane. Everything could be going smoothly one minute and the next, you get hit by turbulence.
It’s important to be flexible in your approach. If something big happens in your life, adjust your plan and adapt. Life can be very unpredictable, but your goals can still remain a priority, even if you have to make some changes.
Step 7 - Seek support
One of the best ways to hold yourself accountable is to tell everybody what you’re doing. We often commit more when people are watching or relying on us.
Tell your friends and family to hold yourself accountable and to ensure you have support when you need it.
Join a support group or a fitness community to keep you motivated and get valuable advice and encouragement.
