4 Ways To Help Keep Your New Year’s Resolution
4 Ways To Help Keep Your New Year’s Resolution
1. Be Goal Specific – You might be thinking “I want to lose weight” or “I want to get stronger”. Great! How much weight do you want to lose? How much stronger do you want to get? Making your goals quantifiable gives you a way to check your progress. Weekly weigh-ins or setting up a strength cycle outside of class (with the help of a coach) are ways to track progress by the numbers. Start thinking more along the lines of “I would like to lose 10lb. in 2 months” or “I would like to add 15lb. to my back squat and 10lb. to my clean”. This way sounds much more realistic and attainable.
2. Keep Track Of Progress – Before you get started, map everything out week by week. Write out diet plans, make grocery lists, keep charts, and track you strength gains online. By seeing how far you have come, you will stay determined and positive throughout the rest of your journey.
3. Prioritize – Make time for your goal(s). If you need to skip a couple of your evening shows to get in another workout or prepare food for the week, then so be it. If you need to block off your schedule ahead of time to get something done, then do it. Being healthy and happy should be a priority in your life.
4. Get Some Help – Having a partner is great. This is someone who will make you feel accountable if you misstep on the way to your goal. If you are not easily self motivated, find someone who is. They will rub off on you and you will try hard to not disappoint them. The more your goals match up with those of your partner, the better.
The new year is just around the corner. Try putting some of these into action as you plan your own resolutions!
