3 Tips to Stay on Track With Your Resolution



When the clock strikes 12 on New Years Eve, many people have an optimistic outlook for the year ahead.


One of the most popular resolutions is to exercise more often and lose weight. However, US News reports that nearly 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February, leaving most of us falling into the same cycle, year after year.


While the odds are stacked against us, getting in shape is a very attainable goal. With a level of commitment and planning, you can ring in 2020 with a new resolution in mind.


Here are 3 strategies to help you stick with your resolution this year.



1. One at a time

Focus on one goal at a time. Splitting your attention between multiple things can leave you feeling overwhelmed and ultimately, ready to give up. Identify the most important change you would like to make and start there.


2. From big goals to small steps

Setting a goal to lose 50 pounds can feel out of reach when you are first starting out. Break your goal down into small step, like 2 lbs a week.

The more you are able to accomplish the more your confidence will grow. Receiving an award when you hit your goals can also be a great way to stay motivated. Treat yourself for a job well done.



3. Know why you want to get healthier

What is pushing you to get healthy this year? Your family? Feeling comfortable in your own skin? Identifying your motivating factor can help you to push yourself when things get tough.


If you are hoping to keep your resolution going, joining a gym can be a great first step. Sign up this month at Echelon and get your first month free with big savings on our monthly membership pricing.
