Each time you find yourself having negative emotions or thoughts in regards to your health and fitness, take a second to think or, better yet, write down something you’re thankful for in regards to your body, your life, and your pursuit of health and fitness. The ability to exercise, to choose the foods you wish to eat, to be able to pursue self improvement is something not afforded to everybody on this planet. This is similar to being given a healthy body at birth.
If you were given a million dollars and told to steward it well, some people would spend it as fast as possible, some people would let it sit and do nothing with it, and other would grow it into much more than a million dollars. Thus, people who hate exercise, who hate healthy food, or even people who don’t really enjoy it need to make a resolution to create a better relationship with health and nutrition. The dichotomy between what we know we should do versus what we’re biologically drawn towards and trained ourselves to do makes this a very challenging process. Few people have to be in great physical shape to survive so most people take the easy road, it’s part of human nature. Making change is difficult, healthy nutritious food doesn’t provide the same orgasmic chemical response that we get from processed sugar and exercise hurts. Everyone knows this a lot of people try to make changes but most everybody fails. Develop a better relationship with health and fitnessĪmericans are overweight and out of shape. In light of all this, I decided to share three fitness resolutions that everybody should have and a special meathead version of each as well. Typically, it’s a small, simple task to do everyday that will improve some aspect of my life like floss my teeth everyday, make my bed each morning, or devote at least 10-15 minutes of reading each day. Personally, I try to make a resolution each year.
That’s great if you’re taking action through out the year to improve yourself in different areas of your life but if you’re not, the new year is the perfect catalyst. Second, everybody should have a new years resolution. So unless you want to be forced to go lift at ATC or Planet Fitness, lose access to monolifts, specialty bars, strongman equipment, and an environment that allows chalk and doesn’t play crappy music, you better spread the word and encourage new people to come to the gym (or at the very least don’t discourage them). Unfortunately, $45 a month doesn’t make much of a dent in a $1,000,000 facility. The day new people stop joining and stop buying our services is the day I will be forced to close the gym. My response to that is two fold: First, my gym, and the most of the rest of the industry, makes its money off of new clients who need help. This can cause some experienced fitness enthusiasts to develop a sense of superiority in regards to new year’s resolutioners.
#When do the new year resolutioners leave the gym full
Funny enough, many fitness “veterans” complain about the new year because now their gym is full of people they have to share equipment with and, generally speaking, most of the new year’s crowd hasn’t got a clue what they’re doing. The fitness industry feeds off the idea of a new year and new changes since most people in this country know they need to make changes when it comes to their health and fitness.
I know I have seen social media posts that range from big goals and big changes to one small action done daily to people who say they don’t need the New Year to spark a change in them. With the new years comes the idea of new year’s resolutions and with resolutions we see a broad spectrum of approaches.
