  • Attainable: the goal must be within your capabilities and not too far out of reach.
  • The goal should match your current abilities.
  • After years without physical activity, running a marathon within the next month is highly unlikely.
  • An unrealistic target is unlikely to be achieved.
  • Realistic: the goal must be sustainable and fit into your regular routine or lifestyle.
  • The goal should be something you can continue doing.
  • Kayaking twice each week may be an unrealistic goal.
  • Possible barriers include unaffordable equipment, lack of transportation, or distance from suitable water.

"Attainable – Make sure that your goal is within your capabilities and not too far out of reach. For example, if you have not been physically active for a number of years, it would be highly unlikely that you would be able to achieve a goal of running a marathon within the next month. Realistic – Try to ensure that your goal is something you will be able to continue doing and incorporate as part of your regular routine/lifestyle. For example, if you made a goal to kayak 2 times each week, but don’t have the financial resources to purchase or rent the equipment, no way to transport it, or are not close enough to a body of water in which to partake in kayaking, then this is not going to be feasible."
