Future goals and healthy habits
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can formulate suitable long-term and short-term goals to allow healthy habits to blossom.
Key learning points
- Move: demonstrating healthy training habits by recording workouts supports consistency and helps you to track progress.
- Move: independently leading your own physical training requires safe participation, away from PE lessons.
- Think: setting long-term and short-term training, nutrition and sleep goals build habits that positively impact life.
- Feel: Setting long-term and short-term targets boosts motivation by providing clear milestones to work towards.
- Connect: recognising and articulating strengths and flaws in habits of classmates needs to be done with sensitivity.
Keywords
Healthy habits - behaviours and routines that promote overall well-being and good health
Long-term goal - a target you aim to achieve over an extended period of time (e.g. months or years)
Short-term goal - a target you aim to achieve quickly (e.g. weeks or a few months) - often a stepping stone for a longer-term goal
Common misconception
Progress will always be made at the same rate.
Sometimes different factors affect level of progress (sleep, hormones, nutrition) but also training results can plateau and changes to training are needed to continue to push the body to adapt.

Take photos of the graffiti wall and goal tree to later celebrate pupils' success and recap their goals.

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
