Set Microgoals

Most MLB greats begin preseason training with a very general goal: to be healthy and fit enough to play 162 really good games during the regular season. During the months that lead up to opening day, Anthony helps ball players meet mini goals every few weeks, pushing them to take baby steps toward lifting a certain amount of weight or running at a particular speed, for example.

Set your own microgoals by making small changes to your daily routine. You could begin keeping a water bottle and a couple of healthy snacks at your desk to ward off afternoon sugar cravings. Then in a week or two, add a 15-minute walk to your lunch break. “Don’t make 30 degrees of change in one day, make 1 degree of change over 30 days,” advises Anthony. Get started by using our Fit Tracker tool to log your calories, workouts, and progress toward a better-body goal.
