Surviving Your New Year’s Fitness Resolutions
by Nate Rifkin
Personal trainers and gym owners across the country have BIG smiles
on their faces right now.
Why?
Because they know they’re about to get flooded with average folk
making New Year’s Resolutions to drop that extra 20 pounds and
finally get fit.
And they ALSO know that the vast majority of these new signups will
show up for about a month and then disappear forever.
Or at least until next year.
Now don’t get me wrong.
I love goal-setting (when it works) and I like the idea of making
plans to get in shape for the new year if it gives you a boost of
energy and motivation.
So how can we set fitness goals for the year and actually stick to
them?
And ACCOMPLISH them?
Here’s 5 things successful goal-setters do that quitters don’t do:
1. Keep your goals PRIVATE.
The last thing you want is for the wrong person to find out that you
want to improve your diet or take a few inches off your waistline.
Because he or she will try to bring you down with negativity and get
in the way of you developing new and good habits.
Don’t even give them the chance.
2. Figure out WHY you want to accomplish your goal.
If you want to drop 20 extra pounds…think about why.
And don’t think this is obvious stuff either.
What you need to know is what personally motivates you and gets you
emotionally involved.
Is it because you want to look better?
Have more energy?
Attract a new mate?
Re-attract and old one?
Figure it out.

3. Use this reason to keep you going when things get rough.
Whenever you feel like giving up or taking it easy after a couple
months have gone by and your goals lose their luster, remember your
reason for making the resolution in the first place.
Focus on that and your fire will reignite.
4. Get around likeminded people.
This means avoiding your friends who overeat if you want to clean up
your diet.
And getting around active people if you want to exercise more.
Like it or not, it’s a lot harder to accomplish something alone..
5. If you stumble a bit, shrug it off.
Don’t worry if you fall back into your old habits for a week.
If you miss a couple workout sessions, don’t waste time feeling bad.
Just get started again and treat it as a learning experience.
If you eat bad for a week or two, pouting won’t do any good.
Just laugh it off and get started again.
Arm yourself with these five strategies and you’ll get halfway
through 2009, look back, and realize you’ve transformed your body for
the better.
