How To Stick to Your Fitness Resolution

The new year is here and despite last years good intentions, for some of us our, our 2019 fitness resolution is also here again. We're all guilty of not staying committed to our goals for the upcoming year, so how do you stick to your New Year’s resolutions? We've come up with 3 helpful tips on how you can stick to your New Year’s resolutions in 2020!

Start small

Make resolutions that you think you can keep. For example, if your goal in the new year is to exercise more, schedule two to three days a week to just get moving! Whether walking, jogging, yoga or going to the gym, any type of movement is the first step. If your goal is to eat healthier, try replacing dessert with something else you enjoy, like fruit or yogurt. Work towards your bigger goals by making small changes/habits at a time.

Don't beat yourself up

Remember that minor hiccups happen when reaching your goals, and they are completely normal! Don’t give up or feel guilty because you ate a brownie, or skipped the gym for a week because you were busy. Balance is important, recover from your mistakes and get back on track.

Ask for support

Consider joining a support group to reach your goals, such as a workout class at your gym or inviting family and friends as a workout buddies. Working with others that share your goals, makes the journey to a healthier lifestyle that much easier and less intimidating. If you feel uncomfortable in the gym or aren't sure where to start on your own, consider seeking professional help from a personal trainer. They can offer strategies and plans to attain your goals and measure progress, as well as help change behaviors.
