Many people tend to make unrealistic goals when it comes to creating a New Year's Resolution based on health and fitness. Many rush immediately to a gym to sign up, go for a few weeks, and then decide to give up.
Instead of making these unreachable goals for yourself, why not start with some simpler, and more adequate resolutions. Here are some suggestions to creating a more manageable and achievable New Year's Resolution.
1. Take the stairs instead of the elevator
2. Take the dog for a walk every day
3. Keep a water bottle at your desk and fill it twice a day
4. Pack a homemade healthy lunch at least 3 times a week
5. Post your 7 favorite shake recipes on the fridge and have one every day
6. Take fish oils daily to check your cholesterol and blood sugar levels
7. Sign up to a dance class, club, or sport with your partner
8. Purchase sessions with a trainer so that you go to the gym regularly
9. Limit your treats to one day a week
10. Join a forum (example: fitness.com's training forum, or Weight Loss Support Forum) to become more motivated
You may come up with your own ideas, as these 10 solutions only name a few. The main idea is that they all have sustainable and objective outcomes. They are all positive for your health and well being, but don't take away from your daily routine. This fine tweaking of creating manageable resolutions will eventually lead to fine victories.
Happy New Year!
