New You for 2016 By Brenda Ellis It seems like every year we say, “This is the year I’m going to be [insert the size you were in high school here]. This is the year I’m going to lose 20 pounds!” After the initial postholiday burst of enthusiasm, fitness or exercise goals can fall by the wayside as life gets busy and distractions pop up (like a new season of your favorite show coming back after winter break). You hear the usual fitness advice a lot: Your goals for exercise and weight loss should be realistic. Decide in advance how you are going to implement your new fitness plans and stick with the plan! Recruit your friends and family to encourage you in your objectives and hold you responsible. Setting a reward to give yourself when you reach a milestone is also a great idea. These are all effective methods and they work for a lot of people, but I personally haven’t had the kind of success I would like using them. Here’s some other ideas that have actually worked well for me in the past year… #1. Dress for Success! True story: I was frustrated last year because I tried on some clothes on a shopping trip and nothing fit right. So, I decided instead of buying some new jeans, I would buy a new pair of grey running shoes with awesome hot pink trim and laces. My old ones were definitely not making me want to wear them in public and having flashy new ones gives me an excuse to put them on and go! This worked so well as motivation for me that I went to the fitness clothing section next time around and got some new running pants and shorts that don’t bunch up (pet peeve). #2. Make exercise FUN! If you’re like me and going to the gym is either intimidating or doesn’t engage your mind enough, don’t lose hope! For example, going to the gym with a workout buddy helps keep things interesting and you can laugh together at people who take their workout too seriously (i.e. Workout Barbie and Workout Ken). Making new friends or getting one of your buddies to exercise with you is also great for accountability to keep you on a routine. Another way to have fun while exercising for me was that I bought a bicycle for my birthday and started chauffeuring my 6 year old to the pool and around town occasionally. This was great exercise without even thinking about it. There are also many great places in the Tristate area to go for a day hike and do some exploring. Another thing I did this year was try golf for the first time and we had a great time doing that as a family at a course that was designed for kids. Always be on the lookout for new adventures to have! #3. Take up a sport (or class, or bootcamp)! One of my female friends has discovered that she really enjoys doing Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. Even if you’re not competitive, this is a great way to get in shape because you’re learning new skills and moves . Also, knowing that you’ve got people expecting you to show up for class several days a week and supporting you is a great way to stay motivated. I’ve found that I really enjoy going to yoga classes at least once a week because I feel really great afterwards, especially if I’m a little sore from other exercise. It’s fun for me and it radically reduces my stress levels. FYI: Stress is unhealthy. #4. Make your fitness routine as convenient/affordable as possible. You don’t need any extra excuses for not keeping up a regular exercise plan. The friend that does Jiu Jitsu joined a gym right next door to her work in Needles, CA. She can pop over to workout right after work and is the best shape of her life now. My sister joined a gym that’s family friendly and has daycare (A MUST for parents!). If you aren’t sure you can afford a gym with a yearly membership commitment, there are some that offer shorter terms and there are also some that offer $5/class with no commitment if you find a class you want to attend. #5. Don’t over-do it! Pace yourself when starting a new workout routine and don’t push your body to the point that you’re too sore to workout the rest of the week. This happened to me when I tried a kickboxing class last week. Also, over-exercising can put you at risk of injuring yourself. However, getting an occasional massage can help ease some soreness and is a nice reward to treat yourself. In summary, make a weekly schedule or plan that works for you and stick to it. If you aren’t making progress or need help with a workout plan, most gyms have a personal trainer on staff. There’s no time like now to make the changes your body deserves!
