A Personal Trainer\’s New Year\’s Fitness Resolutions Tips

By Leo Pinto, Personal Trainer

\"NewWelcome to the Holiday season! With the closing of the calendar year approaching it\’s common to see that the number of visits and check ins in health clubs skyrocket. The cardiovascular area is packed, classes are full, the locker rooms are messy and you always have to wait your turn if you are in the machines/free weights area.

A lot of this hype is due to the \”New Year\’s Resolution\” crowd. The \”crowd\” is not permanent. The crowd has a life span of 2 or 3 months for the most part. Because of a series of different factors, new members will stop coming as often shortly after they purchase their membership, some of them will drop their membership all together even before the 90 day mark.

This phenomena happens every year.

Whether your goal is to lose \” the last 10 lbs\”, get a six pack by summer time, add muscle mass, run a marathon etc – there are a few key things about keeping the fire up and make your resolutions last until your final goals are accomplished.

Below, I share some  elements that will help you follow through with some of  your own  New Year\’s Fitness Resolutions:

– Set up realistic/attainable and specific goals – Have a long term goal then break it down in to smaller goals.

– Hire a good professional -if you don\’t know where to start or what to do, you will need help. Base your decision to hire a decent  professional with a good reputation, deep knowledge and solid client success rate (try to stay away from \” great deals\” and remember that looks can be deceitful – awesome looking trainers are not necessarily awesome trainers).

Visualization – Picture the final goal in your mind.

– Measure your progress – Assess and reassess your progress in a regular basis – keep good records of your journey.

– Make it a big deal – Tell people, post your successes in social media, get your friends  involved, stimulate healthy competition among them

– Celebrate – reward yourself for surpassing your goals, for achieving bench marks.

Be A Little Better Everyday

Establishing positive daily habits is a powerful way to create long-lasting changes and improve your overall well-being. By incorporating these nine simple habits into your routine, you can positively impact your physical health, mental clarity, and personal growth. Let’s dive into these habits and explore the benefits they bring to your life.

One Hour of Exercise

Engaging in at least one hour of exercise daily helps boost your energy levels, promotes weight management, and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Regular exercise also releases endorphins, improving your mood and reducing stress. If you aren’t sure how to get started, hire a personal trainer.

Two Liters of Water

Staying properly hydrated by consuming two liters of water per day promotes healthy digestion, enhances cognitive function, and supports overall cellular health. Water also aids in flushing out toxins from your body and helps maintain healthy skin.

Three Cups of Tea

Drinking three cups of tea, such as green, herbal, or black tea, provides a host of benefits, including antioxidant protection, improved digestion, and enhanced immune function. Tea can also help relax the mind and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Four Colors on Your Plate

Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your meals ensures a broad range of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. The vibrant colors indicate the presence of beneficial phytochemicals, which help reduce inflammation, support a strong immune system, and promote optimal health.

Five Minutes of Meditation

Taking just five minutes each day to practice meditation can improve focus, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote emotional well-being. It allows you to cultivate mindfulness, gain mental clarity, and develop a sense of inner peace.

Six Songs that Motivate You

Listening to six motivational songs each day can uplift your mood, boost motivation, and provide a positive outlook. Music has the power to inspire, evoke emotions, and drive you towards achieving your goals.

Seven Minutes of Laughter

Laughter is indeed the best medicine. Devote seven minutes to engaging in activities that bring joy and laughter, whether it’s watching a funny video, spending time with loved ones, or reading jokes. Laughter reduces stress, enhances immune function, and improves overall well-being.

Eight Hours of Sleep

Getting a restful eight hours of sleep every night is crucial for your physical and mental health. Quality sleep supports brain function, promotes optimal hormone regulation, and aids in the body’s repair and recovery processes.

Read Nine Pages of a Book

Dedicating time to read nine pages of a book each day enhances knowledge, expands creativity, and improves cognitive abilities. Reading provides mental stimulation, reduces stress, and offers a valuable opportunity for personal growth and self-reflection. Incorporating these nine daily habits into your routine can lead to transformative changes in your life. From physical fitness and hydration to mental well-being and personal growth, each habit contributes to your overall health and happiness. Remember, change happens gradually, so start by incorporating one or two habits at a time and gradually build upon them. Embrace these habits as a lifestyle, and you’ll witness the positive impact they have on your well-being. Start today and embark on a journey towards a happier, healthier you.
