New Year, Realistic Fitness Goals

It might sound cliché to set healthier lifestyle choices for a new year but, for many a new year brings along new perspectives of change.

We believe to fail to plan is to plan to fail thus, we are here to help you find the easiest and most efficient ways to achieve your weight loss and fitness goals.

Keep a food and drink diary

While it’s not a good idea to obsess over calories, when you’re starting out, it’s useful to keep track of what you’re consuming to understand where unexpected or excessive calories come from.

A notebook combined with online research is fine, or you could use a calorie counting and fitness log app like MyFitnessPal.

Seeing the calorie content of your go to snack it sure to help you think twice and find alternative options. Similarly, finding out you can eat a massive bowl of chicken salad, three boiled eggs and some Parma ham for the same as one piece of chocolate cake, helps you make better choices.

Go on a retreat

Start exercising at home

Some of us due to to work, kids, illness, dependants, and financial issues) can’t get to a gym or even really get out for a morning or evening run/walk/cycle. That doesn’t mean you can’t work out.

Look at it this way: you could lie in bed pressing snooze for at 9-minute intervals for half an hour every morning, or you could get on to your yoga mat and bust out some burpees.

If that seems like too much, start small.

Get the mat out while you’re watching First Dates and do press-ups, plank or jump squats through every ad break. Run up and down the stairs 10 times before you have your shower.
