GetFIT Connections Goal Booklet

The GetFIT Connections Goal Booklet accompanies the GetFIT Connections 10-week program.  Copy the front pages, then copy the back pages on the back. You will be printing 2 of the same goals per page, so cut the page in half and give the second goal booklet to a friend or co-worker.  Download the 16 Goal Coupon Booklet to help you make healthy lifestyle, behavioral, and nutrition changes. 

Work on 1-2 goal coupons each week.  The coupons are in no particular order, but there are suggestions listed under the home page of the GetFIT Connections Program.

How to Use the GetFIT Connections Goal Coupon Book

Step 1. Look in the Calorie Chart A. Determine how many calories you need based on your gender, age, and activity level. If you want to lose weight, select the lower calorie range and increase your activity time and intensity. Notice how your calorie requirements are increased with an increase in activity level. If you go above your calorie recommendations one day, eat less calories the next day to maintain your weight and/or exercise more. Look on Coupon 1 for information on activity and an exercise record. Check with your physician before following any exercise plan.


Step 2. Look in the Recommended Daily Food Amounts Chart B. Highlight your calorie row.


Step 3. Select goal coupons in the book to guide you through your lifestyle changes. The coupons are divided into 16 nutrition, behavior, and physical activity goal coupons. The goal coupons are in a suggested order to follow.

Step 4. Fill out the right hand side of the goal coupon, detach, and reward yourself when you
complete the goal. Look on Chart C for non-food and physical activity reward ideas.
