HOW TO MAINTAIN<br />
THAT HEALTH KICK<br />
Written by Tessa Beecroft<br />
The New Year is a particularly busy time for the<br />
fitness industry. People feel inspired to make<br />
some healthier changes and what better time to<br />
start, than when you’re making those New Year<br />
resolutions. However, how many of you have<br />
made that resolution this year, but also the year<br />
before and the year before that….? Although the<br />
intention may be there, the motivation to make<br />
those changes may fade quickly. So how do you<br />
maintain the health kick?<br />
Be prepared for the long-ride<br />
The first and most important thing to do is to set aside the<br />
notion that you will become a healthier person overnight.<br />
The media will be filled with crash diets, 12-week, 6-week<br />
or even 4-week exercise plans and no end of herbs,<br />
supplements or potions that claim to help you lose weight<br />
and get healthier. Don’t get caught up in the hype. The<br />
first key step towards success, is understanding that<br />
you will be committing to a journey. You will need to be<br />
prepared to invest time (and perhaps also money in some<br />
circumstances), to make truly sustainable changes to your<br />
lifestyle. I sometimes ask my clients who want to make a<br />
change: “how long have you felt that way?” or “how long<br />
have you wanted to make those changes for?” The answer<br />
is usually months or years. If it has taken that long to create<br />
those unhealthy lifestyle habits, why do we expect it will<br />
only take weeks to create new ones? If you want to make<br />
your resolution stick, then don’t buy into short-term fixes.<br />
