Which of the following is an example of an improper specific goal?

Setting specific goals is essential for effective motivation and measurable progress. An improper specific goal lacks clarity, measurability, or a defined timeframe, which makes tracking performance challenging.

Option D focuses on adding more vegetables to the diet, which might seem beneficial, but it lacks specificity in terms of how much or how often this change should occur. The goal does not quantify the expected outcome or timeframe, making it less actionable and more ambiguous. Without clear parameters, it’s difficult to determine whether the goal has been met or how to implement it effectively.

In contrast, the other choices provide more clarity either by specifying a target (like losing weight) or a method for improvement (like enhancing endurance or focusing specifically on weight loss). Properly structured goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), which is not the case with the goal focused on adding vegetables. Such precision helps in evaluating progress and maintaining motivation.
