Resolutions are easy to make but hard to keep, especially when they’re not built to last. The key to starting strong and staying consistent is setting realistic, sustainable habits from the beginning. By focusing on small, manageable changes and building momentum now, you’ll create a foundation that supports your goals all year long.

Here are three ways to jumpstart your fitness journey and stay committed throughout the year.

Don’t forget to check the schedule and book your next workout.

Balance Out Your Rewards

In colder temperatures, sticking to a fitness routine often feels less appealing. Cozying up under a blanket with a few cookies sounds far more inviting than a workout. While it’s important to enjoy treats from time to time, maintaining a balanced relationship with food can keep you on track.

A balanced approach to food means savoring those occasional indulgences without overdoing it. Instead of viewing treats as rewards, try to incorporate them mindfully into your routine. This way, you can enjoy your favorite winter comfort foods while still staying on track with your fitness goals, leaving you feeling both satisfied and healthy.

Set Smart, Achievable Goals

Broad resolutions like “getting in shape” can feel overwhelming and vague. Instead, set clear, measurable objectives. For instance, aim to exercise three times a week. Track your progress with weekly check-ins and celebrate your achievements along the way—whether with a cheat meal or a well-deserved rest day.
Remember to define both short-term and long-term goals. As you progress, don’t hesitate to tweak them to stay challenged and motivated. Your goals should evolve with you, not limit you.
