As we are getting into the home

stretch of winter, the longer days

of spring and summer are fast

approaching. It seems many

people who had the best of

intentions regarding their New

Year’s resolutions for health and

fitness in early January have let

things slip a bit. From speaking

to different people there are

many different hurdles that they

see as obstacles to success. All of

these obstacles can be surmounted

with a few simple strategies.

• No Time to Exercise

Fitness has to be made a top

priority if you’re going to be

successful it must be an integral

part of your day. You should try

scheduling daily appointments

with yourself. Treat them as

important as a chiropractic or

naturopathic visit. You have to

go, no ifs or buts about it. Even

if it is as simple as a walk around

the block, every little bit helps.

• I’m Too Tired

If your energy is low, then

begin with five minutes of

activity, then increase to ten

minutes and so on. Before you

know it a whole workout will

go by without any effort. The

first five minutes are always the

hardest. To avoid sluggishness

try drinking enough water.

• I Have To Take Care of

My Family

By planning activities with

your kids like biking, playing

soccer, skating or bowling you

can have fun and you will get

to move around. Put your baby

in a carrier and climb the stairs,

power walk at the wall. If I’m

home before dinner, we try and

play a game of soccer or road

hockey which perks everybody

up and relieves stress.

• I’m Just Not

Motivated Enough

Find yourself a buddy. This

always helps. If there’s

somebody depending on you

to pick them up or waiting

at the corner, odds are

that you’ll get out of bed and

out the door. This will give you

satisfaction from completing

the workout as well as

overcoming procrastination.

Keep Your New Year’s Fitness Resolutions On Track!

• I’d Rather Spend Time

With My Friends

Make exercise social. Organize

doubles tennis, recruit

friends for a walk or hike.

Join a bike club. Any activity

that you enjoy, you’ll be

more inclined to do it in

the first place, and you won’t

quit early.

In conclusion, to be successful

with your fitness and exercise,

don’t make it a huge obstacle

every day. Start small and

work your way up with time

and difficulty. Make it fun

for you and your kids, which

not only benefits you in the

short term but will instil

good fitness habits with

them. Make it social and

change up your routine. If

you do this you’ll stick to it

and enjoy it more.
