Which of the following is a step that involves setting targets for progress?

• A. Goal Setting
• B. Medical Screening
• C. Adherence
• D. Fitness & Nutrition Assessments

Answer: (A)

Setting targets for progress is goal setting. It’s the step where you decide what you want to achieve and by when, giving you a clear direction and concrete benchmarks to measure against. In practice, you’ll often make these goals SMART—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—so you can track improvements and stay motivated. This distinguishes goal setting from other steps: medical screening checks health status before starting; adherence is about consistently following the plan; fitness and nutrition assessments measure current status and changes but don’t set the targets themselves. By establishing goals, you know what counts as progress and can adjust the plan as you move forward.
