How can I set effective fitness goals?

To set effective fitness goals, start by making them specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). What do you want to achieve?

I want to lose 10 pounds in 3 months.

That's a great goal! To achieve that, you might aim for a calorie deficit of about 500 calories per day. Do you have a workout plan in mind?

I was thinking of doing cardio and strength training.

Combining cardio with strength training is excellent! Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio and two strength training sessions per week. Would you like tips on specific exercises?

Yes, please! What exercises should I focus on?

Focus on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses for strength, and include activities like running or cycling for cardio. How does that sound?
