Want to lose weight and exercise more this year? Starting is just the first step; sticking with it is where the real challenge comes in.
We caught up with our friends at Crunch Fitness to gain their insights on how to make your New Year’s Resolutions stick.
Here are their tips and tricks on how to stay committed to your fitness journey and achieve sustainable, long-lasting results.
1. Get a gym buddy
Having a gym buddy keeps accountability when visiting the gym and sticking to a new workout schedule. This is not only beneficial but can also be very fun and enhance gym experience with some friendly competition.
2. Be incremental
Adding positive ‘micro-habits’ can help easily build change into routines. If a goal is to lose weight, start by adding a few extra minutes to cardio workouts during gym visits. Set smaller and achievable goals.
3. Write it down
Journaling can assist in meeting New Year’s goals through the act simply of listing them out, which helps make them tangible and actionable. Continue keeping a record of workout progress each day, which helps stay the course in any fitness journey.
4. Ask for guidance
Personal trainers can be a great resource for first-time gym goers. Certified personal trainers create custom programs to help anyone reach their goals, designed 100% around the new member, which in return tracks results leading to successfully accomplishing goals.
