Make your goal achievable Not everyone can look like Liz Hurley at fifty (yes really? groan) so try the more realistic goal of making the best of what you?ve got. With this in mind, promise yourself to include some daily physical activity in your life, or at least a couple of times a week.
Make a plan Treat it like a project and describe how you?ll achieve your health and fitness goal. Say, losing ten pounds, being able to run around the block without wheezing ? or whatever. Put it into small digestible chunks so it?s more approachable. So if you want to run a marathon, start with running a kilometre. Add some body strength training to increase stamina and update your plan as you go.
Tell your friends and family Well, maybe not all of them. But share your goal with at least one other person so they can help keep you motivated. Don?t over commit and try to make multiple changes all at once. Too disappointing when you ?fail? to meet unrealistic expectations.
Get professional help and advice There?s no doubt that having the help of a trained professional will greatly improve your chances of success. Take a yoga or Pilates-style class to help de-stress, increase your stamina and strengthen your core.
Try a new class or teacher Classes can get a bit pricey but shop around in your area for the best deal. However, don?t compromise on quality - go for the best teacher you can find. Don?t compromise your health either - you?re not going to get the same attention in a class of ten that you?ll get in a class of four.
Don?t go for ?the burn? Start gently and build up to prevent over training and possibly causing injury which will set you back.
Less is more (well ?it?s better than nothing!) Can?t get to a class or the gym? Skip up and down the stairs instead of taking the lift or escalator. Work your core while you?re waiting for the train. Engaging the core in balance exercises is easy, fun, and can be done pretty much anywhere. Challenge yourself to stand on one foot (or whatever).
Have a dry January Give up the booze for the month. It will give your body a break and get your system back on track. Don?t hold back on the water though and make sure you hydrate. Often people think they?re hungry when they?re simply dehydrated. Its calorie-free and it helps your skin glow ? what?s not to love??
Use your mobile as a fitness device People are increasingly welded to their mobile devices, so why not use your phone or tablet etc. to help your New Year resolution?? Keep a record of food and exercise daily. If results are slow to materialise you can look back and see why.
The 2012 you It doesn?t have to be a perfect you.? It doesn?t have to be a new you.? It can just be a better you. For more information please visit London Pilates Studio www.londonpilatesstudio.com
