A workout task should be atomic. Avoid mixing up multiple tasks in a single target.

20 pulls up | Workout |
A workout task should be quantifiable. It should have a numeric target that is either reached or not.
Good example | Bad example |
---|---|
restrict to 2000 calories | lose weight |
A workout task should be attainable. It is best to keep the initial target around 80% of what you wish to hit. You can always increase the target as time passes.
Good example | Bad example |
---|---|
30 mins running (increase later) | 3 hours running |
A workout task should be incremental. Starting low and then growing to tougher targets is a good workout plan.
A good workout task should be unambiguous.
Good example | Bad example |
---|---|
4 glasses of water | Hydrate yourself |
A good workout plan should have a few "easy wins". This helps you get in the habit of checking the green boxes and getting in the habit.

A good workout should have a few rest days.
