Happy New Year, everyone!
It’s that time again – time to make resolutions that you’ll keep diligently for a month (or two) before sliding back into your bad habits.
And also time for dozens upon dozens of fitness blogs and articles about making your resolutions stick.
Are you like most people who start off strong and hit the gym and diet 110% after January 1st? Do you fizzle out after a month or two and return to your old (bad) habits?
Let me save you some time and boil it all down for you:
Max Power Rules for Keeping New Year’s Resolutions
- Set a small goal.
- Start slow and steady.
- Get it done.
- Never never never never give up.
- Repeat.
Training Is a Process
It is a constant and never-ending process. (See #4 and #5 above.)
Let’s be real – most people don’t like change. Your body especially doesn’t like change. If you take a long break from training or any real kind of exercise, ease yourself back into it. Implement a training schedule that allows your body to adjust.
It’s okay to start slow and start small! Everyone has to start somewhere.
Training Is All About Progress
Stop thinking about how weak you are and start thinking about how much stronger you’re getting.
Stop thinking about how fat you and start thinking about how much fitter you’re becoming.
Every day is a chance to be better and to do better.
