12 Fitness Goals For Each Month of 2024 with Aeroski
When it comes to the annual tradition of making New Year’s resolutions related to exercise, the end result is usually a general fitness goal. For example, individuals will pledge to work out regularly without putting together a concise exercise plan, or will vow to simply ‘exercise more’ without attaching specific guidelines for doing so.
While setting fitness goals for the New Year is always a good idea, choosing vague objectives and failing to make them as detailed as possible is not the best way to go about making these resolutions. In fact, fitness goals are one of the most commonly abandoned types of New Year’s resolutions.
A great way to set yourself up for success in meeting your fitness goals and finding the best workout plan for you in 2024 is to create detailed monthly goals. Take the time to write down objectives for each month of the year so you’ll have a list to reference when you feel tempted to break your resolution or are simply losing motivation.
In this article, we’ve put together a sample list of monthly fitness goals for 2024. This is just one example of how to structure your fitness goals and direct your exercise efforts with Aeroski. Feel free to adopt these exercise objectives as your own or use our list as a jumping off point to create your own calendar of fitness goals.
January: Set Up Your Home Gym
The fitness goal you choose for January is probably the most important one on this list. It will set the tone for your exercise journey for the rest of the year. That’s why it’s essential to make sure this goal puts you in a great position to work hard and be successful with the best workout plan possible in the months to come.
We recommend choosing to get your home gym set up as your January goal. Here are some tips for making this fitness goal a reality:
- Set Up a Dedicated Space — Choose one dedicated space in your house to be your designated home gym. If you don’t have the extra square footage to devote one specific room to your home gym, that’s okay too. Just decide which area of the house you’ll be performing your exercises in, whether it’s the living room, bedroom or garage, so you have a space in mind when you’re ready to begin.
- Make It Your Own — Once you’ve picked an area as a dedicated exercise space in your house or apartment, make sure to make it your own. Outfit it with features that will enhance your workout experience and help you stay motivated. Examples of helpful additions to a home gym include speakers to play music, a TV to stream your favorite shows or movies and motivational quotes on the wall to inspire you to work hard and meet your fitness goals.
- Pick a Great Exercise Machine — The most important decision you’ll make when setting up your home gym is choosing an at-home exercise machine. Choose Aeroski to enjoy the most fun cardio machine on the market from the comfort of your own home. Aeroski is easy to assemble and set up wherever you like in your home.
Once you’ve got your Aeroski situated in your home gym and have created a relaxing space to exercise in, use the rest of the month to start getting acquainted with Aeroski and learning how to use your machine. Start to get comfortable so you can build up your exercise efforts as the year progresses.
February: Start Increasing Your Workout Length
When you first set up your Aeroski and start exercising with it, you might decide to start off with very short workout sessions. If you’re just getting started with regular exercise, you might decide to exercise for as little as 10 minutes a day at the beginning. As you get more familiar with the Aeroski machine, feel free to start increasing the length of your fitness sessions. In February, aim to work out longer during each session. You can also set a fitness goal like working out for four days a week instead of just two or three.
March: Don’t Forget to Stretch
Pre- and post-workout stretches are commonly overlooked when it comes to developing the best workout plan possible. If you want to avoid suffering exercise-related injuries that will keep you from meeting your fitness goals in the year to come, stretches are essential. This month, focus on finding stretches that work for you and perform them before and after your Aeroski fitness sessions. You’ll get to enjoy the many benefits stretching has, like:
- Improving Flexibility
- Supporting Blood Flow to the Muscles
- A Better Range of Motion
- Lowering Risk of Injury
- Increasing Exercise Performance
April: Try Different Workout Routines
As you get started with Aeroski in the beginning of the year, you may fall into a pattern of completing one exercise routine every time you step onto your Aeroski machine. While this is definitely a great way to get your feet wet and get used to exercising with Aeroski, it’s important to add variety to your routine as time passes. The best workout plans involve switching things up to make sure you continue to challenge yourself and make progress toward your fitness goals.
May: Join a Coach-Led Class
By May, you will have probably become a lot more comfortable with your Aeroski machine than you were in January. While you may be used to working out on your own, you may also be looking for a feeling of community or more support to guide your fitness efforts. This month, join a coach-led class through the Aeroski app to get more focused guidance and to truly feel like you’re a part of the Aeroski community.
June: Explore HIIT Workouts 
The six month mark is a great time to add a new workout strategy to the best workout plan that you’ve been focused on developing. This month, try HIIT workouts with Aeroski to make your fitness sessions even more effective and make continued progress toward your fitness goals. Enjoy the many benefits of HIIT exercise, including:
- Burning More Calories
- Lasting Elevated Metabolic Rate
- Increased Muscle Mass
- Better Performance in Aerobic and Anaerobic Activities
July: Incorporate Hot Weather Tips
In many areas, July is the hottest month of the year. As you deal with this sweltering weather, it’s important not to give up on your fitness goals. Incorporate hot weather exercise tips into your fitness routine to improve your exercise experience instead of skipping workouts. Here are some tips for making the most of exercising in summer:
- Prioritize Hydration
- Work Out in the Morning or Evening
- Wear Lightweight Clothing
- Pick an Air-Conditioned Exercise Space
August: Check Out the Aeroski App
As you enter the second half of the year, it can be easy to lose steam and feel a loss of workout motivation. To beat workout boredom, check out the Aeroski app for a wide selection of exercise routines to inspire you. You can also create your own custom routines based on your desired intensity level and workout session length. Use this time to reinvent your exercise routine as you build the best workout plan possible to help you meet your fitness goals.
September: Optimize Your Diet
The journey towards achieving your fitness goals isn’t just about how often you exercise or what fitness moves you choose to do. To make the biggest impact possible on your physical health, both diet and exercise should be optimized. Take this month to consider ways you can improve your nutrition habits, such as enjoying seasonal fruits and vegetables or trying out a new healthy recipe every week. Consider adding green smoothies and other healthy foods to your regular routine for the best results possible.
October: Exercise With a Friend
This month, share your exercise journey with a loved one. Make it a point to work out with a friend or family member on a regular basis in October. Whether you set up a time to exercise while on Zoom or FaceTime, or pick a spot to set up your Aeroski machines next to each other in-person, working out with another person is a great way to work towards your fitness goals. Sharing the exercise experience can help reinspire your fitness efforts, give you a sense of support and keep you accountable as you work towards your goals.
November: Challenge Yourself 
By November, you’ll definitely be used to working out on the Aeroski machine. While it’s great to feel comfortable with your exercise strategies, it’s important not to become bored by your workouts. This month, challenge yourself by completing a workout you’ve never done before. Whether that means adding core-focused exercise, a lower body toning session or an intense round of cardio HIIT fitness to your workout plan, make sure you feel challenged and inspired this month.
December: Make Exercise Fun
December is one of the busiest months of the year as you juggle work tasks, holiday celebrations and end-of-year preparations. As a result, it's easy for fitness goals to get lost in the shuffle. Instead of stressing about meeting your fitness goals and creating the best workout plan possible during an already stressful time, make exercise fun this month. Turn it into a stress-relieving activity that you can actually look forward to. You’ll be much more motivated to make time for exercise during this hectic season if you enjoy it. Here are some tips for adding enjoyment to your workout plan:
- Create a Holiday Playlist
- Listen to Podcasts While Exercising
- Wear a New Workout Outfit
- Try Fun Fitness Accessories
