No matter your fitness
level, having a target to
shoot for will help you to stay
on track, boost your health
and tone your body. “Your goal
should be specific, measurable,
attainable, relevant and timely
(S.M.A.R.T.),” says Julia
Valentour, an exercise
physiologist for the American
Council on Exercise. “For
example, ‘I want to get in shape’
is vague, but ‘I want to be
healthier by walking a half hourWe’ve got the tools to get you
started on a walking plan, whether
you’re a beginner, a regular walker
or a turbo exerciser
seven days a week’ is SMART.”
In 2014-15, the Australian
Bureau of Statistics reported
that nearly one in three people
aged 18-64 were insufficiently
active – completing less than
150 minutes of exercise in
the past week – while nearly
15 per cent of survey
participants were inactive.
