If there’s one thing that’s certain…
How have you got on with your New Year’s resolutions? Are you going out for your morning jog? Have you signed up at the gym?
It should come as no surprise to you that if there’s one thing that is certain it is that you will lapse.
The most important thing is how you deal with these lapses. However, if you are realistic and honest with yourself then you are in with a chance. So rather than go through the same pattern of behaviour that keeps our gyms in business take some positive steps now!
Here are three things that you can try:
i. Put a reminder in your mobile phone calendar (try the middle of February) with a message that you would write to somebody else who you wanted to stay on track with his or her physical activity. We are better at giving advice to others!
ii. Reward yourself when you get back on track after a lapse; but make sure it fits in with your goal- in particular stay away from food rewards.
iii. Arrange to workout with a friend (another person is invested in your success) and do something that you both enjoy.
Good luck to you all and from everyone here at DoctorDumbbell.com we hope that 2010 will be a great year for you. Let us know how you get on by leaving a comment.
