The New Year

Have you seen/heard all of those ads for gyms, lipo, exercise equipment, diet books, etc. this past week? Health goals and the new year go together like peas and carrots. The new year is a great time when most people feel motivated to change. I loved working at the new year because we were always busy with new clients. Unfortunately, this enthusiasm doesn't always last long. Gyms are typically much less crowded in February. I think this often happens because people make goals that are a little too hard to keep up with. With that in mind, I just wanted to remind you of SMART Goals. Here is a link to the posts I did a few months ago.

Here is another bit of advice I want to share. Weight loss is typically a common goal with the new year. Instead of obsessing over the number on the scale, expand your goal. Try keeping track of body measurements every month or so, or get a body composition test. If you live close to a university, it may have equipment to do a body composition test.
