Before I give my two cents on the entire New Years get back in shape Resolution. I did want to say I will be announcing at the end of this post a bit of special I am having with my Online Personal Training.
OK, so we all ate a bit too much over Christmas and New Years, and perhaps last years New Years Resolutions of getting back that body you had when you where in your 20’s didn’t work out so well…
Hey I got an idea, why not do exactly the same thing you did last year since it worked out so well for you last year and perhaps several years before ;)
The last thing you want to do is throw yourself blindly into a crowded gym with other disoriented New Years Resolutioners. While at the same time starting some fad diet that inevitably will be way to difficult and traumatic to say on. You are really setting yourself up for failure by taking this kind of approach.
;)
Here are some tips to help you get back on track to a much healthier lifestyle that over time will get you the health and fitness you desire.
- First off, avoid the gym completely for at least the first 2-3 weeks of January. Most gyms are going to be supper over crowded, you do not want to be anywhere near a gym in early January.
- Start by tackling your eating first, don’t be too radical, cut back on sugar drinks and alcohols.
- Use less dressings, sauces, toppings, butter, and sugar on your food.
- Eat smaller portion meals and drink lots of water.
- Load up on veggies, salads, fruits and meats and limit the pastas and breads, go for carbs like rice and potatoes but not too much.
- If you have some workout gear at home, you can introduce some workouts but start slow and build on it. Once your body gets used to the activity you can workout more often and push yourself harder.
- Do the obvious stuff like get out for walks, ride a bike take the stairs not the elevator, be as active as you can.
- After about 3-4 weeks if you want to go to the gym, it should be starting to clear up since most of the Resolutioners will have lost their drive by now.
One of my resolutions for the beginning part of this year is to focus on making specific videos that will feature simple at home workouts that almost anyone can do with little or no fitness equipment. That way you can follow along in your own home, without having to go to any crazy busy gyms, and just maybe this year will be the year you will achieve your New Years resolution of getting back in shape!
