Motivational Tips to Jump Start Your Fitness Goals for the New Year
December 17, 2007
Weight loss has always been one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions but, for many, just getting started on a fitness plan can be an extreme challenge! Dave Pardue, a top trainer and manager at One2One BodyScapes, New England’s premiere personal training studios, offers his motivational tips to help anyone looking to start a regular fitness routine.
1. Schedule your workout as an appointment Just like you wouldn’t miss a scheduled doctor’s appointment or work meeting, you’ll be more apt to fit in your workout if you set aside time in your schedule. 2. If your time is limited, try to do something physical for at least 10 to 15 minutes Any amount of physical activity is better than nothing! You never know — once you get started you may just keep going. 3. Add variety to your fitness regime Don’t bore yourself with the same type of physical activity over and over again. Challenge a friend to a tennis match, take a walk one day and an exercise class the next. Mix it up! 4. Keep old photos, clothes in a smaller size or a picture of a marathon medal on display to remind yourself of a goal Having visual reminders will help you to stay on track and remember what you’ve set yourself up to accomplish. 5. Make sure your fitness plan is convenient Join a gym or work with a personal trainer that is on your way home from work or close to where you live. Or, if you plan to work out at home, make sure the necessary equipment is easily available. 6. Avoid the expectation of immediate results It is part of the American culture to assume results can be achieved quickly. Avoid falling into that trap. You will see results if you stick with a plan but give it time!
