Today on Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony break down why goal setting works for some people and consistently fails for others. If you have ever felt frustrated, inconsistent, or unsure why your effort is not matching your results, you are not alone. This episode dives into the psychology behind effective goal setting, the most common reasons people fall short, and how clearer, more intentional goals change behavior. The conversation offers a practical framework for setting goals that are realistic, motivating, and aligned with real life.
