Most New Years Fitness Resolutions Fail and How to Make Results Stick

\"BillBy William Trimble

Training clients more then 15,000 hours over the last 13 plus years has taught me a few things about how to help clients reach their fitness goals.

 

Did you know that more then half of all people starting exercise programs and joining gyms will quit within the first 4 to 6 weeks. Unfortunately good intentions are not always enough to get the kind of life changing results you envisioned. You waste time and your money.

 

Instead you want to find a qualified fitness professional to design a complete fitness program for you. Some key ingredients to success are appropriate interval training and aerobics sessions, healthy meals and portion control, life coach and support system, daily planned training time, tracking progress and monthly fitness assessments, and believing in yourself and sticking to your program.

 

There are hundreds of gyms and thousands of trainers in NYC. It is very important to  research and select a program carefully. One that fits your lifesyle and fitness needs. This will  increase your chances of long term success and hopefully make your fitness experience more enjoyable.

Finally you want to continue to try new fitness activities in order to challenge yourself and add variety to your workouts. This helps keep you interested and makes the workouts more FUN.

I believe it is more important to incorporate a well rounded fitness program into your lifestyle. This will give you more control over your own health and fitness and hopefully become a new way of life for you going forward.

 

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.
