It’s one more day to January 1st, and we’re sure that you’re feeling great about the new year and opportunities it might bring after a long year of pandemic and lockdowns.

How many managed to improve our health and blood test results?

The new year is right around the corner so if you want to optimize your health and smash your new year’s resolutions before the new year begins, keep reading as we give you a few tips to get you through to your goals.

Exersize..geddit..? No? Okay…

#1 Plan Ahead

If you think about it, fitness (like everything else important in life) is quite predictable, there are sets of laws and rules that everyone knows will bring you success, which comes with a well-thought-out plan of action.

So before you rush into doing the things you have to do to improve physically and mentally, you have to, well, know what you’re doing!

Think about the results you want to achieve in the upcoming year and build your plan accordingly.

This would entail careful programming of physical activity and nutrition so if you are a newbie in this regard, your best bet is to hire a professional trainer/coach/nutritionist, who can help you figure out what’s best for YOU.

#2 Find Quality Food Sources

In the health and fitness world, it’s all about quality over quantity so if you plan on achieving great health and fitness goals in the next year, your nutrition should be of top priority.

You have to know what foods are going to help you get there faster while minimizing any negative effects or sacrifices along the way.

Improve your relationship with food and it will be much more enjoyable. Understand the difference between cravings and hunger.

There are a lot of opinions regarding healthy nutrition, but if we had to get it down to a couple of bullet points, here’s how it would look like:

  • Derive sufficient essential nutrients (Carbs, Proteins & Fats) from quality sources (foods from well-raised animals & dark leafy greens)
  • Avoid processed foods, focus on whole foods
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Eat mindfully

#3 Get A Training Buddy

Odds are that at least one of your closest friends has also set fitness goals, meaning that, well you have someone like-minded close to you!

Share your resolutions with friends and get yourself a training buddy!

In doing so, you can open ground for accountability and exchange information about training and nutrition.

Last but not least, sharing healthy habits with a close friend can create a strong bond that lasts a lifetime!

Hint: We can be your fitness buddy too!

#4 Monitor & Adjust

Even if you do hire a professional to create tailored training and nutrition plans, you must keep in mind that nothing works forever.

Throughout your fitness journey, you must track your progress and adjust the plan as needed.

This is the exact reason why, in working with a professional, you should be required to have regular check-ins and monthly assessments, besides the creation of specific fitness programs.

We hope the next chapter of your fitness starts when you realize how much more you can do with your body and mind.

In the new year, choose a new, fun activity that you truly enjoy engaging in and stay consistent with!

Feel the magic of using your body for a variety of activities – training isn’t just weights and cardio!
