With the new year just around the corner I decided it was a good time to address the idea of a new years resolution. Usually its about this time that people get really excited about getting into shape and losing a couple of pounds. The gyms start to get crowded again with lots of new faces. The problem is most of those new face won’t be around too long. Why?

Well there are a couple of different reasons that I see. The most common has to be lack of results. In our society today people expect immediate results almost everywhere. 24 picture development, one hour dry cleaners, and the list goes on. If you think just because your going to start going to the gym and sweating a little bit that in a week you will see dramatic result, your wrong. If you have this type of mind set then your just setting your self up for failure right from the start. You need to have dedication, but most of all patience. You have to realize that it will all pay off in the end if you stick with it, but that visually you may not see a difference for a month or more.

Why well because your body needs time to adjust to the changes you are making. Once it gets use to your new routine and life style it can adapt and get your body working more efficiently and this will give you those desired results you so badly seek.

Another reason that people fail with their new years resolutions is because they think they are expected to make a resolution. What this means is they decided to start a resolution simply, because they believe its what your supposed to do. They don’t decided to do it for them selves and because its what the want. When you set out to accomplish something and your main focus is doing it to please other people and not your self, you enter into it with the wrong mind set.

The mental aspect of working out can sometimes be harder then the actual physical aspect. Once you get into the gym its easy to pick up the weights or start some cardio, however getting in the car and getting to the gym that’s a whole other story. I’m sure on any given day you can think of a million excuses why you can’t get to the gym or that it doesn’t fit into your schedule. Sometimes the most difficult thing can be to think of one reason why you can’t afford not to go to the gym. I f you mentally prepare your self to take on this new challenge, before you dive head on into it your results and better yet your experience will be much more satisfying.

So I’m not telling you to not make a new years resolution, but rather I ask you to really think about it and prepare your self for the journey you are getting ready to undertake. If you will just take the time to really plan out how you are going to attack the new years resolution and what obstacles you will face in the process, then you will have a much better chance to achieve your desired results.

Just something for you to think about and I wish you a happy New Year and much success in everything you do in 2010 including your fitness or any other new years resolution you take on. The only think that will keep you from accomplishing your goals is your self.

Well now that you know whats required to make a successful New Years Resolution we want to hear about yours, whatever they may be. Please leave a comment bellow and state your New Years resolution.
