How to keep your New Year's resolution
past January
February 1, 2005
By Katie Riley
With the new year beginning, many of us are out trying
to make positive resolutions for the year ahead.
After recently stuffing our faces with turkey dinners,
sweets galore, and avoiding regular appearances at the
gym, it is no wonder that fitness centres, seem to be
more full than they have at any time since September.
However, like countless new years' resolutions, many
of these fitness and health goals stand a good chance
of not lasting into the future months.
A feeling of accomplishment may be reached after losing
the pounds that have managed to add up and get packed
on over the holidays, but why stop there? It is a known
fact that being regularly active provides more energy,
satisfaction, and an increased state of overall well-being.
Not only does committing to a more active lifestyle
promote better health, but it will also get your body
into better physical shape. In turn you can gain the
confidence that you desire to conduct yourself on a
daily basis.
Fatigue should decrease as your body becomes more accustomed
to activity. As a result you will feel less lazy and
feel more productive to do things like homework, perhaps.
The cost for a membership to The Zone has once again
been lowered, so there are unlimited excuses as to why
you should not get into a fitness-oriented mind frame
to start off 2005. If you do not like weightlifting
or cardiovascular training on your own in a gym setting,
then there are many group fitness classes that you can
take that will get your heart pumping and your adrenaline
racing.
Keep in mind that exercising alone will not provide
the results that you might long for. A healthy balanced
diet is necessary to attain best results in combination
with physical activity.
Remember that you have to select the type of healthy
eating plan you are going to follow and try not to combine
too many different types of diets. Mixing certain aspects
of low carbohydrate diets with low calorie diets is
not always a good decision as there are different guidelines
for different diets. This is because high calorie foods
might appear as low carbohydrate items for a carbohydrate
counting diet, but will end up putting you over your
daily caloric intake for another diet.
