Creating a Successful New Year’s Fitness Plan

Prepare

Before you can put any fitness plan into action, you first must know what the outcome is you desire. Your desired outcome will drive how you create your fitness plan. Do you need to recover from an injury before you can focus on improving your fitness level? Is this the year you prioritize strength so you can improve your bones? What’s your desired outcome?

 

Step 1

Step one is to commit to creating and keeping a fitness plan. I have never seen someone successful at improving their fitness without a plan. 

 

Step 2

Step two is to remember that every fitness plan needs these three basic pieces; mobility, cardio and resistance. 

 

Step 3

Step three is to embrace the fact that every woman who is focusing on her fitness must also be willing to add rest into her fitness. Rest is when we recover, it keeps us from injury and it allows us to enjoy our movement more.

 

Additional Notes

Once your plan utilizes each of these three steps. A couple of notes to remember. Motivation is a learned skill, not something people are born with. Everytime you prioritize your fitness, you’ll become more motivated.

 

Remember, at times life gets busy and we miss a day or a week of fitness. Don’t panic and especially don’t give up. Simply start again and refocus. One easy way to keep your body in motion is to have a Minimum Daily Movement plan (MDM). This is nothing more than 10 minutes in a day where you have committed to yourself that you will always move. Any easy MDM includes three minutes of mobility and joint warms up followed by some simple do-anywhere move like squats, bicep curls and tricep kickbacks using a water bottle instead of weights and then a brief walk. Or, do your three minutes of mobility and then go for a seven minute walk.

 

You’ll be surprised at how often ten minutes turns into twenty and you’ll feel twice as good!
