FITNESS TRANS4MATIONS

If you are considering joining a gym this year, you should be aware of some hard facts. 50-60% of you are expected to drop out within the first few months. So don't become a statistic, read on for our top tips on staying motivated this year.

• Set yourself a challenge to keep you motivated. Many people just train to achieve general fitness, but setting yourself a goal such as running a certain distance, will give your workouts more meaning and keep you focussed on hitting your target.
• Lack of time is the most common excuse for not working out. If you plan your week in advance and make exercise your priority, then you are more likely to fit it in. We waste a lot of time on things that are not important, Your Health and Well-Being is!!!
• Get yourself a training buddy. Working out with a friend will help you stick to your routine and will keep you inspired to progress. You are less likely to miss a workout if you know someone is relying on you.
• Try a greater range of exercise to prevent you from becoming bored with the same routine. Experiment by swapping your regular stint on the treadmill for the rower, stepper or bike, or get adventurous with some boxing or by trying a fun new class.
• Be aware of the pitfalls of doing too much exercise too soon. Appreciate that real results are not obtained overnight.  Over-training can cause injury, decrease your motivation as well as leave you feeling lethargic. Ensure you get adequate rest days every week to allow your body time to recover.
