Following Christmas we all have a tough time getting back into training or eating correctly. So now that Christmas is done and you some time to spare why not try planning your first two weeks of training? It could include walking to work, cycling at the weekend or setting time out for the gym.
We all need a goal to reach for to enable us to push forwards, so start by setting out a goal for January. The rest of the year can wait for now. just make sure you start with something realistic. Goals like cycling to work twice a week, staying in and cooking meals 3 times a week or jogging and walking back from work, even if it's just half a mile are a good place to start.
Goal setting has to be achievable otherwise you'll fall at the first hurdle and that New Year's resolution will disappear. In fact forget it's your new year's resolution, just think of it as trying a new fun activity and continue that positivity on into the year. Once that goal is set, put appointments in your diary to do that training or meal preparing. Make sure it's a time when you'll have the least barriers. So, if you think you are better in the mornings then get up 30 minutes earlier and train, you'll feel energised for the day and feel great for getting the exercise out the way first thing. The point here is - be realistic. Keep it small and achievable and you'll send your confidence soaring into February and beyond.
