Why Set Training Goals?

Consistent progress starts with manageable goals. These aren’t just fitness-based—your mindset and routine matter too. Here are some practical goals to keep you on track:

  • Eat fruit and vegetables daily
  • Exercise at least four times a week
  • Limit digital distractions, like excessive news or social media
  • Take your vitamins
  • Reach out to a different friend daily
  • Stretch every day (especially post-workout!)
  • Practice a few minutes of meditation

To maximise your results, pair your workouts with our Krav Maga principles for a holistic approach to training and mental resilience.


How Often Should You Train?

If you’re just starting out, aim for 2–3 sessions per week. To boost general fitness, 3–4 times is ideal. Advanced athletes can benefit from training up to 6 days per week, rotating between strength, skill work, and recovery.
