THE SECRET TO SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTIONS
by Lacey
Lee, of the Gym Downtown
Why is it that every year 100 Americans resolve to get
fit but by February, approximately 40% of the 100 Americans
break their new years resolution? While resolutions are
well intentioned, unfortunately most people fail at keeping
them. If only you could waive a magic wand and make your
resolution come true. The key to making a successful New
Year's resolution is a person's confidence that they can
make a behavior change and the commitment to making that
change. The following are some easy steps to make it easier
to fulfill your promise to yourself.
1. Preparation - You must realign your priorities.
Initial attempts to succeed are limited until you change
your habits and make the time for your new commitment.
2. Choose an obtainable goal - You must be realistic
when setting your fitness goals. Rather than concentrating
on the end result, set several smaller goals. Remember
your fitness goal will not happen over night. It is a
working progress.
3. Educate yourself - It is the utmost
importance to know what you are doing before you start
any kind of workout regiment. You do not want to injure
yourself, burn out or get discouraged. A personal trainer
will put together a program designed specifically for
you and your personal fitness goals.
4. Do it for yourself - Your fitness
goals should be based on what YOU want. Do not let distractions
get in your way. Treat your workout time like you would
a doctor's appointment. Remember you are in control. 5.
Stay Positive - Everyone falls off the wagon at some point.
If or when that happens, you should not be discouraged.
Take the time you need to regroup and then get back into
your routine.
