I’ve been thinking about my step goal for November and it’s my birthday month so I want to do something a little different. 🎂👣
I always set SMART fitness goals to keep myself active and intentional, not just “I’ll walk more” or “go to the gym twice a week,” but something specific, measurable and realistic for the season I’m in.
For me, that could look like 200,000 steps this month (around 7K a day with space for rest days and travel), though I hardly give myself that grace anymore! or sometimes 10,000 steps daily, that “magic number” we’ve all been conditioned to chase.
I track it on my fitbit/phone or use my commitment tracker because seeing that number climb or colouring in always gives me a little boost with a dopamine hit to boot. Some months, I keep it achievable, not extreme. But a few times a year, I like to stretch myself a bit.
It’s always linked to my bigger WHY though, which shifts with each season. This November, I’m manifesting peace so getting my steps in is about feeling clearer, lighter and more grounded as I transition to a new phase of life.
Setting a goal for a month means I can review and adjust, not quit. Even a short weekly check-in makes all the difference.
SMART goals might sound technical, but honestly, they just make success visible. But when you can see progress, you keep going. 💜
So what about you? what’s your step goal (or any fitness goal) for November?
Drop it below so I can cheer you on throughout November.
Oh, and mine? I’m aiming for 35,000 steps in one day because I’ve got my eye on that Fitbit boot! 😉👣
