It’s 2012 and if you’re in the gym because of a New Year’s resolution then you’re wasting your time. Weight loss and getting fit cannot be sustained by a mere resolution. When I used to be a fitness instructor and personal trainer, there was a staggering amount of people signing up to the gym with the excitement of a smaller waist and toner body.

By day one most people don’t know where to start and they begin to do everything…literally everything. Every cardio machine must be used and by the end of their workout, every weight machine will be tried and most likely poorly executed. They’ll do this for about two days straight until they find each muscle in their body is twitching in agony. I’ve seen people work out for two weeks straight until the excitement wears off because the have not seen the results they wanted.

So who’s to blame? Is it the gym for convincing people to sign up with their amazing deal? Or is it the people that wait for January 1^st to make a life altering decision that have to be planned and then executed?

Well you’ve guessed it; it’s the people’s fault of course.  If your one of these people that I’m talking about then here’s what you can do. Sit down plan, write you’re food plan and workout plan. Give yourself time to rest during the week. Be patient and have fun. Find a dance class like Zumba or belly dancing. Grab a partner that will keep you motivated and is serious about this as much as you are.

There is no better resolution than to be happy, to help others and to love who you are in side and out.

Happy New Year!!!
