Like many of the Fit is a Feminist Issue bloggers I track my workouts in a Facebook group called 225 workouts in 2025! (Fit Feminist edition). There’s also the original group, 225 Workouts in 2025.
And this week, I hit the group goal for the year. Yay!
Each year if I hit the group goal early, I set a new goal for the year. Back when I was doing lots of very deliberate knee physio, that goal was 400. But these days physio has lightened up. Last year I didn’t make the 400 goal.
Let’s do some math.
There are 156 remaining days in 2025 and to make it to 400, I’d need to work out 175 more times. To put it differently, I’d have not to miss a day and work out twice on 19 days. That is not going to happen. Given the university fall and the Christmas holidays, I’d say nope.
How about 350? That’s 125 more workouts over 156 days. That seems more doable.
These days I’m all about reasonable, achievable goals.
See Sam is thinking about setting goals and being reasonable.
Here’s Alison’s post that inspired me in her reasonable ways, Once More Round the Sun: on resetting year-end goals, motivation, and delight.
How about you? Are you motivated by big stretch goals or more modest reasonable goals?
