“New Year, New You…”
“This Year Will be my Year!”
”First thing tomorrow it is on!”
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah….we have all said this and many others to ourselves at the start of a New Year, but why do we do it ourselves? Why do we make the FIRST day of the year so demanding?
Every day we wake up is a New Day to do something we didn’t do yesterday, and I am sorry to be the one to tell you but losing weight and getting in shape is a lifestyle and takes consistency, determination and LOTS of sacrifices to be successful at it. These words may hurt, but they are true.
My suggestion is to make getting in shape a JOURNEY, an ADVENTURE, something that doesn’t seem like “one more” thing you have to do. Discovering how you can control the way your body looks, how your skin glows and even how your heart pumps blood through your body is AMAZING. Don’t focus on what you cannot eat or the workout…JUST ENJOY LIFE and make small changes along the way.
I see and hear so many people beating themselves up over what they perceive as failures when all it boils down to is they set the wrong goals and look at the journey all wrong. I have some ideas for you to start your fitness journey off right:
- Start a workout log – scheduling and keeping track of your workouts will be a roadmap to your success.
- Workout from home – ask me about Art Fitness Virtual Training!
- Get a coach – Art Fitness is here for you!
- Throw some music into your workout – music is known to elevate your effort!
- Build a team – your team can hold you accountable.
- Reward yourself – been spying those new pair of jeans?
- Dress the part – invest in workout gear that makes you feel inspired.
Change how you see your journey and start enjoying LIFE – I promise you’ll see some results and enjoy it too!
