Spring into summer!
Setting New Years fitness goals for 2016 was one thing. But now, with summer rapidly approaching, many of us our finding ourselves coming up a little short. Not to worry! There's still plenty of time to get back on track. Here's some tips to help you revive your New Year's resolutions and spring into summer!
1. Figure out the biggest obstacle. Was it to much to take on at once? Did something unexpected happen in your life? As soon as you can identify the problem, you're in a better place than where you started. You just need to reset your goal.
2. Readjust your methods. If your goal was too much, try changing your methods. For example, if you set out to run 5 miles at least 5 days a week and that was too much, make an adjustment. Was the problem the distance? Or finding the time 5 days a week? If it was the first, change your target to 3 miles 5 times a week. If it was the later, try running 5 miles 3 times a week.
3. Make small changes. Don't be so hard on yourself. If you want to make long lasting changes, you need to make changes that will work with you and your life style. Don't make drastic changes that will be hard to follow on a daily basis.
4. Set goals that are measurable and attainable. Focus on holding yourself to the action steps that will bring you closer to your goal. For example, just cutting out your after-dinner snack can make a big difference over time. Goals like this will keep you on track. Seeing you've accomplished something each week will help you stick to what you set out to do.
5. Hold yourself accountable. Keep a diary, set a goal with a friend or a group, hire a trainer... Whatever you need to do, find a way to hold yourself accountable and don't let yourself off the hook!
Finally, remember that it's almost summer...so it's CRUSH TIME!!!
