support for all variants
Goals come in all shape sizes. Our goal forms are a blank canvas with support for all variants under the hood. Here are the types we support:change goals
you may want to specify that your target is the change as oppose to total
value. For example “lose 20kg” represents a change of -20kg whilst I want to
be 70kg is a total finishing point.
incremental goals
you eat an elephant one bite at a time, which is why goals are often expressed
as a rate of change as oppose to fixed value at the end of the block. You can
vary teh increment toggling between day, week, month and year.
relative goals
losing one lb of bodyweight a week means two different things if you weigh
150lbs vs 350lbs, which is why goals are often expressed as a percentage.
Using percentage goals allows for the value to be expressed as percentage, for
example lose 0.5% per week.
Combinaitons of change, incremental and relative settings support all
different goal variants your coach, the internet, may tell you. For example
the statement “lose 0.5% bodyweight per week” is a change goal, with a weekly
increment, and uses percentages”
Setting a change goal
represent your finishing point as change from the starting point
Setting an incremental goal
represent your finishing point as a daily, weekly, monthly or annual values
which compound for the duration of the block
dynamic goals
No need to scrap your plan if go off-target with dynamic goals. Goals can be adjusted from the start of the block, or you can keep your previous trendline and start a new phase. This will create a way point on your goal’s trendline so you can see your past and ammended trendlines. When setting a new phase, “set target to actual” sets the start point of your new goal phase to your actual trendline. “set target to target” sets the target your previous goals target trendline.A common example for dyanmic goal adjustments to support unexpected intial actual
trendlines. For example if you set out on a bodyweight cut and your initial caloric
planning was too high, after a few weeks the difference between your actual and
goal trendlines might be too great to be of any actual value.Adding a new phase with the “reset intial to actual” option will reset the goal back onto your actual data; whilst preserving the previous data so you can review
in future.
