The three main factors why people begin training/ Eating nutritiously-
2) Gain muscle
3) Improve athletic performance/ mobility
Now being that its everyone join a gym month (January), people have set their goals and have went full force into workout, and eat right mode. The fact is that after about 3 weeks on a plan people go back to the normal routine of oreos, laying around and not doing much to help themselves out. The gyms will clear out to the normal level of occupancy, and the vegetable section in the grocery store will be back to being stocked up to max capacity.
The three main ways to stick to a plan and achieve your new years fitness goals-
1) Start small, begin with a simple routine every morning when you wake up, im talking simple, set a timer for 5 minutes and do 10 squats, 10 pushups, and 10 leg raises, do this until the 5 minute timer runs out. By doing something managable it will be much easier to stick to a plan and make it part of your daily routine. As your strength builds add time to the routine, until you can eventually transition to the gym.
2) Notice how in the beginning of the post i didn't say "diet" i simply said eating nutritiously. The word diet is always thought of as a temporary transition, not a lifestyle change. Instead of going on a "diet" simply eat real whole foods, like meat, vegetables, beans and nuts. Start slow and implement more wholesome foods into your regiment and you would be shocked at the rate your body fat decreases and if combined with weight training your muscle tone increases.
3) The greatest way to achieve your fitness goals and staying committed to a plan is by realizing this resolution is not a quick fix but a change that is now becoming part of you lifestyle and routine. The journey to your goal is not a sprint but a long marathon.
Stay committed, motivated and persistent, and your resolutions of tomorrow will become accomplishments of today.
