On Track for the New Year?
(What and Why)
Mel Richards – Personal Trainer & Sports Therapist
As the heady optimism of January 1st becomes an ever more distant memory, how are your New Year´s resolutions shaping up? If it is now proving difficult to even remember what it was that you wanted so much to achieve, perhaps you should stop and ask yourself “why?” There is a very good chance that you will recognise some of the following factors as contributing to this year´s lack if success:
You didn't set proper goals. Did you really think about what you wanted to achieve and by when? Were you goals realistic and did you remind yourself of them every day?
You didn't have a properly structured programme. Were your nutrition and training programmes realistic, or did you set yourself up for failure by striving for perfection? Did you make pledges such as NO treats, NO alcohol, I will train EVERY day, and then find that life got in the way?
You didn´t measure your progress. Did you weigh, measure or assess yourself in some way at the start and at regular intervals thereafter? How about sharing your results with someone who could help to keep you accountable?
It has been well documented that, in most cases, training and nutrition programmes work when they take account of factors such as these and fail when they don´t. If you have got this far into the new year and feel that it has all gone wrong (again!) don´t despair and don´t write this year off as another failure. Set realistic goals, make a plan, get a programme that works, measure your progress and enlist support. It is never too late!
