Life Fitness offers tips for keeping new fitness goals in 2012
Life Fitness, the leader in designing and manufacturing high-quality exercise equipment for fitness facilities and homes worldwide offers tips for keeping new fitness goals in 2012.
Here is an excerpt that was posted on Herald-Dispatch.com earlier today.
Find the balance between lofty and realistic. Setting a goal to lose 20 pounds in two weeks is lofty; giving yourself two to three months to take off 20 pounds is more attainable. Aim for a two-pound weight loss per week, and try to think in only two-pound increments so you don’t get overwhelmed.
Be proud of your progress for every two pounds you lose and you will steadily reach your goal!
Know who you are and how you work. Achieving your goals is often tied to self-awareness. If you haven’t been working out at all, don’t make a resolution to work out daily – be more realistic and aim for three times a week at first. Once you are routinely exercising three times a week, take it up to four.
It’s all about setting yourself up for wins so you don’t get defeated.
Small changes lead to big results. Set small goals that you build upon, one at a time. For example, this month aim to add strength training to your routine; next month try a new piece of fitness equipment; the following month try a new fitness class each week.
