It is important to stay active and fit but at times it can be hard to know where to start and even harder to take that initial step to get yourself going. Short-term goals can be beneficial for those who struggle to get started on a workout plan and stick with it. One way to focus on exercising is to create fitness challenges, with the goal of completing the short-term plan before moving onto another one.
