Do you have goals and targets that you are struggling to reach? Personal Best is a Facebook App that helps you use the winning techniques from sports psychology to tackle your own everyday goals.
This tool will allow you to set a simple measurable goal such as exercising 3 times a week, or saving £500 in 6 weeks. When you set your target, the tool will calculate what you have to accomplish each week in order to achieve it. You need to be able to quantify your goal making sure that it is specific, measurable, achievable and realistic within 6 weeks.
Please bear in mind this is a simple tool so it cannot determine specific training programmes for every conceivable goal. If your target involves physical fitness or your health, you should talk to an expert before embarking on any programme of activity.
