HOW TO KEEP YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

It’s a New Year; and with that comes a range of resolutions. A common New Year’s Resolution is to start new healthy habits such as dieting or exercise. While it’s great to have some goals to kickstart your 2020, keep in mind that you may need a checkup with our exercise physiologist before embarking on a ‘get fit’ campaign. It’s important that you approach your new fitness regime in the best way possible. This may mean getting a niggling injury looked at by one of our physios so it doesn’t hamper your activity.

It’s so easy to fall out of a routine of self-care over the busy Christmas and holiday period, and it can be difficult to start again once you’ve stopped. Here are our top tips for sticking with your fitness goals:

Many people make the mistake of having an “all of nothing” attitude. Starting any new fitness regime requires a change to your normal routine. Start small. Don’t be too ambitious or you might find it’s hard to make the habit stick.
Listen to your body. Working out takes time and energy, so be sure you’re getting enough sleep and eating well.
Find what motivates you. Something as little as packing your gym bag the night before or pre-preparing your breakfast smoothie so it’s good to grab and go can make getting up for the gym feel like less of an effort.
Bring a friend. Not only is it great to have company while working out, but it also makes you accountable so you have to show up!
Do what you enjoy. Running isn’t for everyone, so why not try swimming? While it’s great to mix up the sort of exercise you do, finding an exercise routine that you enjoy is key to sticking with it.

Even better, enquire about our wellness classes which may help to improve your fitness and offset any injuries.
