Avoid New Year’s Resolution Burnout

Many times, our New Year’s fitness resolution dies because we are not realistic about our goals.  It has been proven that you will be more successful if you try to accomplish one major goal at a time rather than trying to accomplish two or more major goals at the same time.

YOUR NUMBER ONE GOAL SHOULD BE TO MAKE HEALTH AND FITNESS A WAY OF LIFE.  THIS GOAL TRUMPS ALL OTHER GOALS.  AND, THIS GOAL WILL HELP YOU ACHIEVE THE SMALLER FUTURE GOALS THAT YOU HAVE!

A smaller fitness goal might be to avoid excessive aerobic training so you don’t hinder strength training.  Combining strength training and cardio training has been proven to decrease fat, improve bone density, increase lean muscle mass and improve heart function among other benefits.

ANY SEEMINGLY COMPLEX TASK IS MORE MANAGEABLE AND
ATTAINABLE WHEN THE COMPONENTS ARE BROKEN DOWN INTO PARTS.

Good health and fitness to you in the New Year!
