This summer we're all hoping to look our best, but with research pointing out that sticking to a weight loss range is much easier than specifying a target, see how international fitness leaders can help.
According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research as published by , being flexible in the amount of weight people wish to lose is more achievable than setting an exact weight loss target.
Authors Maura L. Scott (Florida State University) and Stephen M. Nowlis (Washington University in St. Louis) say: "Whether a goal is a high-low range goal or a single number goal has a systematic effect on goal re-engagement. High-low range goals influence (individual) goal re-engagement through feelings of accomplishment, which itself is driven by the attainability and challenge of the goal."
The majority of people usually have a variety of options as to the types of goals they wish to attain as they may choose to repeat certain goals over time. For instance, individuals often re-engage goals such as finding effective in an attempt to lose weight, improve their fitness or save money.
A spokesperson for Curves said: "Many women put a lot of pressure on themselves, especially around the summer season, in the hopes of going down a dress size or to tone up - but by setting a specific goal, this may not necessarily meet their expectations. What's recommended is to set a high-low range goal, for at least this allows some leeway - which then results in a better experience of accomplishment when a goal is easily attainable."
