Too many people year after year, look at the holidays as a time to indulge because January and the new year is coming. So here is tip number 4:
Don't indulge because you are planning for the new year!
Many people use new years as a time to make life style changes and hit the gym or clean up their diet. Little do they know, that in my experience at the gym, almost 80% of the people who start, quit within a couple months, and about half of them after the first month. If you look at your local attendance around January there are a lot of new faces, and they slowly disappear as march approaches.. Now keep in mind some do stick it out, and some see great changes early on, but the vast majority will not see changes immediately. However, the health benefits DO start immediately. The first positive changes that will arise are the benefits on the inside of your body and not looks. This means that the first few weeks are the hardest because it will be the most physically demanding with little results to be seen in the mirror. Because of this, many people will have indulged all holidays, only to quit soon after starting their changes! Don't plan for January, because January is no guarantee Well intensions don't always fit into everyone's lifestyle and changes can be much more difficult than you originally think!
Don't make this mistake and stick with any new years resolutions you make to yourself. It can only double your progress!
Cheers,
