Instead of just resolving to 'exercise more,' make mini-New Year's resolutions that will keep you committed to regular exercise.
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION #1: MAKE TIME FOR YOU
Problem: Taking care of yourself on a daily basis can be challenging. From daycare to meetings or just catching up with friends, it can often feel like 'you' don't really fit into the equation of 'your' life.
Solution: Make yourself a priority! Let people around you know that you're hoping to make a big fitness change in your life and ask them for their support. Your friends can help you with day-to-day tasks--or even exercise with you. Enroll in Habit 4 Health's 'Kick Start Healthy Habits' Fitness Boot Camp by January 6th with a friend and you each get 5 FREE workouts!
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION #2: WRITE IT DOWN
Problem: You want to lose weight and tone your muscles, but haven't set any concrete targets and you're not sure how to go about achieving your fitness goals.
Solution: Write down what you eat, drink, and how you feel before, during and after exercise and you'll be more likely to stick to a new healthy living plan. Habit 4 Health's 'Kick Start Healthy Habits' Fitness Boot Camp includes mandatory writing of goals and a food journal to increase the chances of you accomplishing your health and fitness goals. Add to this journal quotes that inspire you to workout when you don't really feel like it.
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION #3: SET REALISTIC FITNESS GOALS
Problem: Fitness goals are too lofty and could set you up for failure. For example, you want to lose 50 pounds in your 8 week 'Kick Start Healthy Habits' Fitness Boot Camp.
Solution: Talk to your doctor or 'Kick Start Healthy Habits' instructor to help you set realistic fitness goals. Break your larger New Year's resolutions into smaller more tangible fitness targets and tasks. This will keep you motivated and increase your odds of being successful.
NEW YEAR RESOLUTION #4: ENLIST YOUR FRIENDS
Problem: You would rather go out with friends for an apres-a-bad-day-at-work drink than workout.
Solution: Take the morning 'Kick Start Healthy Habits' so you get your day started off in a great mood and you already have your workout in for the day by the time the day goes bad at work. Get your friends to hop on the fitness train with you! People are more likely to stick to their fitness regimen if they have someone to support them.
