How to stick to the ‘workout more’ New Year’s resolution<br />
Sean Hastings, Editor<br />
One of the most popular<br />
New Year’s resolutions is<br />
“I want to go to the gym<br />
more.” Most have either<br />
said it themselves, or had<br />
a friend or family member<br />
say it.<br />
While it can be a great<br />
resolution to have, going<br />
into the new year without<br />
any sort of plan, can be a<br />
key contributor as to what<br />
kills that resolution before<br />
the end of January.<br />
Reclaim Fitness trainer<br />
Kurk Schulte has seen<br />
those resolutions succeed,<br />
but he has also seen them<br />
fail. So, he has some tips<br />
for people who have set<br />
those resolutions, to stick<br />
with them.<br />
Three focuses he recommends<br />
are:<br />
1. Set a goal.<br />
2. Set a time frame.<br />
3. Stick to the goal and<br />
time frame.<br />
“The biggest issue that<br />
people come across is that<br />
they don’t have a goal and<br />
they don’t have a time<br />
frame,” he said. “The new<br />
year comes around, they<br />
say ‘I need to start working<br />
out, I need to get back<br />
in shape and healthy this<br />
year, so I’m going to start<br />
going to the gym,’ but they<br />
don’t really dive down<br />
deep to say what they want<br />
to do.”<br />
The people who stick<br />
with their New Year’s<br />
Resolution have a specific<br />
goal and a specific time<br />
frame to achieve the goal.<br />
“If people say, ‘I want to<br />
drop 15 pounds because I<br />
have a wedding coming<br />
up in May, Memorial Day<br />
weekend, for example, if<br />
they say ‘I need to drop 15<br />
pounds before the wedding<br />
so I can look my best that<br />
weekend,’ it gives them<br />
something they can shoot<br />
for,” Schulte said.<br />
When people go in<br />
blind is when they taper<br />
off and go back to their<br />
old habits.<br />
And another thing<br />
Schulte and the other trainers<br />
at Reclaim Fitness tell<br />
members, especially when<br />
they get discouraged in the<br />
beginning stages, is that<br />
the 15 pounds they want to<br />
lose, was not put on in one<br />
month.<br />
“Those 15 pounds<br />
aren’t going to come off<br />
in just one month,” he<br />
said. “Those 15 pounds<br />
of healthy weight is going<br />
to take time and dedication.<br />
But it comes back to<br />
having a goal and a time<br />
frame.”<br />

Another tip that Schulte<br />
gives to people trying to<br />
start the new year off right<br />
with going to the gym, is<br />
to create a realistic schedule.<br />
Typically, three-to-four<br />
days is a good place to<br />
start, he said, and increasing<br />
as time goes on.<br />
One thing Reclaim has<br />
implemented to drive that<br />
idea home is a program<br />
called Tribe 21/90. The<br />
tribe part is the community<br />
of people working together<br />
and the 21/90 part refers to<br />
the time to create and hold<br />
on to a habit.<br />
“Twenty-one days is<br />
usually what it takes to<br />

create a habit to start really<br />
getting into the motion,”<br />
he said. “Ninety<br />
days is when you turn it<br />
almost into a lifestyle. We<br />
have it here in New Lenox<br />
and the Mokena location,<br />
where you’re doing that<br />
collectively with a group<br />
of people, where you’re<br />
committing to 21 days to<br />
really get going and then<br />
90 days turning into a lifestyle<br />
change.”<br />
It is done to help people<br />
stick with their fitness<br />
journey and hold them accountable<br />
to it.<br />
The program also gives<br />
people a variety of workouts<br />
to keep it fresh, challenging<br />
and exciting,<br />
Schulte said. The program’s<br />
workouts range<br />
from 30-45 minutes.<br />

Schulte added that trying<br />
to keep workouts consistent<br />
is key, too, and trying<br />
to find which time of<br />
the day best suits a schedule.<br />
The last thing to keep in<br />
mind, he said, is to focus<br />
on nutrition.<br />
