Weight loss will be yours this year! Provided you don't drop out of your fat loss program, of course. So what can you do to keep your motivation to exercise and workout and stick to your nutrition program, rather than dropping out like last year?
Let us help you. Here are some tips that will keep your motivation and commitment high longer than ever before.
And don't think I'm singling you out. About 50% of people (seems like more!) fail at their exercise resolutions.
1) Our first tip? Don't get too sore!
Don't overdo it the first week back. Stick to just one set per exercise, and don't try running 6 days per week for 30 minutes. That will just give you shin splints. Instead, just focus on being consistent and moderate in the gym, and focus on your nutrition changes instead. Your nutrition is where you will see the biggest impact immediately anyways.
2) Avoid intimidating training environments.
You don't like gyms? Exercise at home. You can do a lot with your bodyweight only. Add a set of adjustable dumbbells and you have your own gym at home. You don't need fancy machines, you just need the ability to train consistently. There are dozens of exercises you can do at home. Plus, you'll save a lot of time.
3) Cut your workout time in half.
You don't need to train for 90 minutes per day. You don't even need an hour. You can get a lot of work done in 20 minutes. If you workout at home, you've also cut the drive time down. So what are you waiting for? Clear 20 minutes from your schedule and be consistent.
4) Don't get bored.
Change your workout every 4 weeks.
5) Avoid the dreaded plateau.
First of all, are you properly recording these three things?
a) Your body composition
b) Your food intake
c) Your training
If not, then how do you know if you are progressing or if you are really being consistent?
6) Workout with a partner.
Not only will it give you a reason not to cancel, but you will also have more motivation and an even greater chance of succeeding.
Here's why: In one study, researchers found that subjects that brought a workout partner also lost more weight if the workout partner successfully lost weight.
Feed off each other's motivation and success and this will be the year you stick to your resolutions.
Workout hard, fast, and lose fat!
