After the start of the new year, people make many different resolutions. A common one is working out. People want to get healthy in the new year, but they make many mistakes when they try to do it and the resolution doesn't last more than 2 weeks. Here are some ways to help you stick with your new year's resolution:
Write down your goals
The first way to make sure you stick with your new year's resolution is to write it down. Write it down somewhere where you can see it all the time. You can either write it on paper or type it on a phone or laptop. Once you write it or type it, put it where you can see it. By looking at it all of the time, you can you keep yourself motivated and you'll want to see the goals you hope to accomplish.
Make a plan
Set up what days you are going to do what. Decide what days you're going to workout and what you're going to do. If you set up some options you could do cardio one day, a class another day, and lifting weights different day. This way you are more likely to stick with it. Setting a specific schedule and time will help you stick with it.
Find something you enjoy doing
Sticking with working out is all about finding the thing that you like. You are going to want to workout if you enjoy what you're doing. If you don't like running then don't do it. If you like going to workout classes then do that instead. You are more likely to workout if you don't see it as working out. You want to see it as something fun and something you enjoy doing.
Find someone to keep you accountable
If you have someone to keep you accountable you are more likely to stick with it. Text someone and ask them to come with you, find a coach, or even just post on Instagram. If you tell someone about it, you are more likely to stick with it.
When you want to give up don't
Even if you want to give up don't do it. They say that it take sixty days to make a habit. Give it the sixty days and you'll make a full on life change. It is something that will become a part of your lifestyle and not a chore or something you feel obligated to do.
You can stick with your new year's resolution if you set yourself up for it. You need to write down your goals, make a plan, find something you enjoy doing, find someone to keep you accountable, and don't give up.
