What are your New Years Resolutions?

January can be a big motivator for most people to make fitness a top priority - is it for you?

Are you the type of person who sets goals only once a year? or do you make short and log term goals that you reassess every few months?

In the spirit of New Years  

SHARE YOUR #1 LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM GOAL 

along with your estimated time of completion and how you will achieve this goal. 

My goals, for example are listed at the bottom:
 

It's counter-productive to bite off more than you could chew, so make these goals realistic and gradual so you don't feel over whelmed. One of the best ways to not get overtaken by the task of living a healthier lifestyle is to take it week by week. 

Keep in mind it never too late to make a lifestyle change, regardless of age or the time of the year. 

Get organized and approach it with some structured plan of attack.  
For example, commit to 3 workouts per week by scheduling it as an important meeting that you cannot miss!

Don’t beat yourself up if you slip up. Also, if you slip and cheat once in the day, that day is not lost, you can immediately get yourself back on track. However, continuing to cheat throughout the day you are really making it hard on yourself to make and maintain the proper behavior changes you need to make in order to succeed.  
Instead, of resolving to never eat out again, commit to eating healthy all week and reward yourself with one meal out on the weekends.

Stick to it. Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity, such as exercising, to become a habit, and six months for it to become part of your personality. Your new healthful habits will become second-nature in no time.

CardioCore is here all year long to support you in your fitness goals but if you are ready to make a change now, there is no time like the present.

Kim's Top Goals for 2011:

Short Term: to incorporate more yoga into my daily life to help with my flexibility and mobility in hopes to improve my running gait.
I will do this by activating my purchased Yoga pass and attend Twice a week. On the other days, I will take a few minutes in the morning to salute the sun and a few minutes after each bootcamp class to encourage my clients to improve their own flexibility.  
Completion date: ongoing, however, monthly I will reactivate my yoga pass and progress from beginner Hatha yoga to more intermediate and challenging forms such as Ashtanga (power)

Long Term: Complete a full marathon in under 5 hours.
I will do this by continuing to follow my training schedule set out for me by my running coach which started in November. My short term goals such as incorporating yoga will help support and nurture my long term goal.  
Completion date: May 1, 2011
