Are you dissatisfied with the results of your new year’s resolutions? It is quite common for people to make new fitness resolutions every year and yet get hard times to achieve their fitness goals. Do you know why this happens? What are the main reasons behind the failure of your new year resolution for fitness? After finishing this blog, most of your questions will be answered automatically and you will be able to solve the problem and cross the hurdles between you and your fit body.
Let’s talk about the 5 mistakes you are making when taking new year resolutions:
● You think you can start again exactly from where you left off.
If you are thinking that you can start from where you left off then you are totally wrong here. You can not just kick-start your body after taking a long break from exercise. But the good thing is that it won’t take much time to make it again because your body has already got trained for that level before.
● Hitting the gym too hard
Excess of anything leads to damages. Of course, it is necessary to work hard for a certain time but if you overdo it at the very beginning then it will feel like a hurdle or burden to you. You will lose confidence and start thinking of quitting. That is why you should prefer only 3 days a week for training your body and build slowly.
● You are not setting specific fitness goals
Not having any specific fitness target sounds like you are just going with the flow/trend of considering fitness for your new year’s resolution. That’s where you destined yourself to fail because when you don’t know the reason behind your hard work in training your body, how can you expect the desired result? If you wish to win it this time then set a particular fitness goal and do the workout with the motive to achieve your target goal.
● Lack of rest
Yes, it is absolutely true that you should work hard when it comes to your health and fitness. But what equally important is to take timely rest too. If you do not allow your body to rest enough then your body will not be able to heal from the pain and consequently give you hard time. So, stay committed to your fitness goals but at the same time keep resting timely to achieve the best results.
● Training with pain
When you do workouts it is obvious to feel the pain in certain parts of your body. It is okay to continue exercising with that pain. But, it is absolutely not okay to continue in severe pain or some injury. Never force yourself to do workouts when you have serious injuries as it will only increase your difficulties. So, just take a break in such situations.
Conclusion:
All over it is a reasonable choice to make your new year resolutions for fitness. You can start your year while being dedicated to your health just with some attention to avoid the 5 mistakes given above!
