Are you ready for the New Year? I’m sure that you are, and what a year it has been! It has to get better,
right? After a year of unpredictable events and a rollercoaster of emotions I think we’re all ready to put
this year behind us.
Year after year, getting in shape is one of the most popular resolutions you can make. This year, DON’T
make a New Year’s resolution. You don’t need a New Year to make a change, all you need is today.
If you feel like starting and staying committed to an exercise program is an uphill battle you’re not alone.
Lots of people are struggling, especially this year! Instead of focusing on how many calories you burn at
the gym, or how much weight you can lift, try focusing on creating a healthy lifestyle. Let’s wipe the slate
clean and start the New Year off with good intentions. Here are a few tips to help you get off to a healthy
start in the New Year.
Find a Gym
Finding a gym, you really like (such as Champions Fitness Center) is a great start, but simply signing up
won't help you reach your goals. You have to get there and do the work! Stay on a schedule like you
would with anything else of high importance in your life and don’t allow yourself to get distracted along
the way. Designate an hour, three to four days a week for your workout. If you miss a day make sure you
get there on another day that week to make it up.
Find Accountability
It’s good to be reminded that this is your life and your choices can be life-affirming in every moment.
Sometimes it’s hard to wrap your mind around it, but you can do it all - start exercising, eat better, and
lose weight. If you aren’t a self-motivated individual, team up with a weight-loss companion (a friend,
significant other, or personal trainer) who will make sure you stick it out. It is much easier to show up for
a workout if someone is expecting you.
In Conclusion:
What does a renewed commitment to health and fitness look like for you? Stay committed to doing the
best you can, find things that keep you inspired, and don’t forget to remind yourself why this is so
important to you. There definitely isn’t a one-size-fits-all diet and exercise plan. Find what works for you
and take it from there. Just remember, you matter and your health should too! I wish you many blessings
and good health in the New Year.

worthwhile. I am currently certified by the National Sports Conditioning Association, Apex Fitness
