Happy New Year everyone. At this time of year many will be thinking of burning off those excess calories that they've consumed over the festive period and starting or continuing with a healthier lifestyle.
However by the end of January most people will have gone back to their old ways and given up on that new healthy lifestyle. The main reason why so many people fail in this objective is that they try to change everthing all at once and this becomes too much for them. Below are a few tips to help you achieve a new, healthier you;-
1) Set goals-these should be S.M.A.R.T- specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time framed. e.g- I will aim to lose 8 lbs in 6 weeks, rather than I will lose weight.
2) Set no more than 3 goals-this will allow you to focus and avoid being overwealmed.
3) If joining a gym ensure you get a personal fitness programme written for you by a fitness instructor.
4)Join a fitness class or have a few PT sessions to give you motivation.
5) Don't give up- if you fall off the wagon, get up, dust yourself down and get back on.
If you follow these tips you will stand a better chance of having a healthier and happy 2012-all the best.
