1. Challenge Yourself

Up the intensity in your current routine and challenge yourself to something more difficult. If you are a short distance runner, think of registering for a marathon. If you normally just do light weight lifting for upper body, consider registering for an indoor rock climbing class. Challenge yourself to something greater and you will achieve amazing fitness results this year!

2. Try Something New

The daily routine of hitting the gym for a walk on the treadmill and then abs is no longer cutting it. Your body is stuck in a rut and it is definitely time for a change. Try something new like the fitness classes at your gym. It is a whole different world in the fitness room and you may even re-ignite your motivation. Achieve more results for the New Year by stepping out of your comfort zone and trying a new workout!

3. Enlist Your Friends

For the New Year enlist some friends and challenge them to get in better shape. As you are more motivated and ready to work hard, it is time to pay it forward and invite your friends to be a part of this. So why not create a friendly competition amongst your group of friends to inspire one another? This will help you and your friends to make 2017 the very best year!

4. Become Consistent

For the New Year it is time to make a resolution to follow a non-negotiable schedule. Just think of it like a doctor’s appointment; you would not cancel last minute on this, right? So look at your workout in the same perspective and commit to this. Make your resolution to become consistent and make exercise just part of your everyday life!

5. Eat More Greens and Grains

Stop making healthy eating seem like a chore. Look at all the amazing veggies and healthy grains you can enjoy. Understand all the nutritional benefits of just how these foods help your body function and aid in weight loss. This will help you to enjoy every bite even more! And this can help you to healthify your 2017!

6. Create Your Own Healthy Meals

Make your own healthy meals and be creative. If you think outside the box and do some research there are so many great meals you can create that will save you calories and help to better your health!

7. Get to Bed Earlier

Get to bed earlier and get in a regular routine of sleep every night. Erratic schedules can put stress on the body causing the body to secrete the hormone cortisol which can cause excess weight gain. So get to bed early and rise earlier to get your workout in! You will look better, have more energy and become healthier this 2017 by catching plenty of zzzs!

With all these totally doable fitness resolutions, it is time to push yourself for the greater good of your health and fitness. And don’t forget there is nothing you cannot do if you put time, energy and a lot of sweat into!
