50 Fitness and Healthy Lifestyle Goals to Get You Moving

Cindy DuVall

If you are like most people, you want to get healthier, but you have no idea where to start. The best way to tackle that is to focus on an area or two and make some realistic goals that will hep you turn those goals into habits. Healthy habits are how we maintain healthy lifestyles. If you need help setting goals, here is a great article to help you get started - 5 Ways to Set Fitness and Healthy Lifestyle Goals That Work.

Don’t try to tackle all 50 goals, or even 10! If you set too many goals, you’ll lose focus and it’s self defeating. Instead, try selecting one goal from each area, fitness, healthy eating and overall wellness. You can zone in on each goal and once you’ve created a habit, you can move onto a new goal! It’s a building process!

Fitness Goals

  • Do 50 sit-ups

  • Do 1 chin up (if you’ve already mastered doing a chin up or two, make your goal to work up to doing 10)

  • Work up to doing 20 push-ups without stopping

  • Do 1 minute plank (if you are already pretty fit, perhaps you make it a goal to do a 5 minute plank)

  • Do at least two focused core workouts a week, added to your regular workout or alone. (Here are some core workouts)

  • Do something active 7 days a week (even if it’s going for a walk)

  • Walk 10,000 steps a day 

  • Run a mile without stopping 

  • Run a (your number) minute mile 

  • Run your first 5K, 10k, half marathon or marathon 

  • Stretch for 10 minutes (your number) days a week (Here’s a good video to help)

  • Roll every day 

  • Stretch after your workouts 

  • Do one HIIT workout every week (Here are some HIIT workouts)

  • Take a yoga class once a week

  • Try one new physical activity a week (kayaking, bike a new trail, take a boxing class, etc)
