It has been about six weeks since we all vowed to be healthier in the New Year. The weather so far this year has made it a testing time for those committed to fitness, better nutrition, and other health-related goals.
Every year, New Year resolutions are usually abandoned by now, as people revert to their old ways. As we know, doing something new can be exciting; however the novelty can soon wear off, especially if it means early starts in the gym or a new diet plan.
So how can we make the resolutions stick this year?
Keep it fresh
If you are going through a big change in your fitness lifestyle and you are feeling fatigued, why not try brighten things up. Substitute the gym for a run outdoors or vice versa, a gym class instead of a run can help add a bit of freshness and give you a new lease of life.
Don’t give up
Whether your are training for a marathon, a 5k, or an event that you just want to look good for, keep the goal in mind. Visualise how good you will feel on the day your big event comes around if you stick to your resolutions today. Let that be the motivation that pushes you through the hard times this month.
Don’t let a small slip-up become a big slip up
Everyone makes mistakes and can slip up at times, whether it is a missed training day or a weekend of indulgence. It is important to not let the guilt take over and get stuck in a rut. Think about the pain and punishment you have endured over the last few weeks – don’t let it go to waste.
It’s never too late
If January was a month of recovery, try to make February be a month of activity. It is never too late to start your 2020 resolutions.
