New year, new you. Isn’t that the age-old adage? January brings a fresh group of people to the gym with a focus on their resolutions to get fit or lose some weight. People always seem to use new years as the time to set their fitness goals. As the year goes on more and more of these people seem to drift away, until you are left with the dedicated people, most of whom have been doing this for years, with a few newbies with a fresh new dedication to their life.
I am the latter.
I have learned the key over the years to keep your resolutions and meeting your goals, fitness or otherwise. Start off small. There are not many things that are a fulfilling as hitting a goal. Just like crossing something off a list, or checking of something off the to-do list. Satisfying.
If you’re looking for lifestyle goals, they can be found here.
January I have one goal.
Stay Active While on Vacation
Lucky (for more than one reason) for me I am going to Maui. Hawaii has to be one of the most active places on this planet. Surfing. Yoga. Paddleboarding. Hiking. Swimming. I actually don’t anticipate a whole lot of problem with this one. However, vacation is one of those times where mentally, and often physically, you don’t want to do anything. You are there to relax.
My goal is to stay active and try to find new ways to do that. Maybe I give paddleboarding a try. Maybe I will find my love for swimming again. I definitely will be taking a run on the beach that everyone is always raving about. I have my eye on a few hikes and plenty of walking. I’m sure that with every word I type my husbands dream of a nice relaxing beach vacation drift further and further away.
January is a promising time for most people, with their newfound dedication to fitness, or whatever their goals end up being. Start with a small goal, and together in February we will grow from there. What are your fitness goals for the month? Or, if you have already made them, what are your fitness goals for the year?
I’m so bad with keeping any of my new year’s resolutions! This year, I also want to work on fitness/nutrition, but I’m setting more short-term goals that are easier to achieve to keep myself on track!
Well Written ! My fitness goal is to lose weight and to increase strength .
I am having such a hard time finding time to exercise! I really need to make this a priority. Thank you for sharing your goals!
Great goals! I have some new year’s resolutions as well 🙂 but nothing about exercising I need to think about it
I am actually on vacation right now and I’m trying to stay active. We’re in a place where there’s a lot of mountains so we’re going hiking!
