How many times have you set yourself a big fitness goal? Did you achieve it?

Research shows that having really specific and fixed goals can actually be a deterrent rather than a motivator. 

In recent years there’s been a shift away from the traditional method of goal-setting known as SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timebound); towards a more flexible approach.

Gab and Sarah explain the idea behind ‘open goals’, and how this is proving to be a more effective way of achieving a fitness target.

You’ll also hear about the world record for planking, and a review of Maddie Lymburner’s Low Impact Full Body HIIT workout.
