New Year’s Workout Resolution Not Working?
Did you make a workout resolution for the New Year to go to the gym? January has come and gone and we’re well into February. That means it’s time to assess your progress and make any needed adjustments. It’s really no different than a job performance review.
For those of you who are still going to the gym like you said you would, congratulations. For the rest of you, you’re not a bad person if you didn’t. You just need to find out what went wrong.
Being in the gym is different than getting to the gym. Not having enough time for both travel and working out is a huge factor. Not everyone has a gym a mile or two from their house.
Kids’ schedule interfered. School schedules. Activities before and after school and then on the weekends. Reduced days when kids get out of school early. Seriously, my grand kids spend huge amounts of time out of school due to reduced days, holidays, parent-teacher conferences, you name it. It’s hard for parents to juggle that time.
Work. Perhaps your boss needed you to work overtime to meet a deadline or pick up extra hours due to sick coworkers.
Illness. It’s cold and flu season. If you got sick, it can knock you out for several weeks. Or, maybe you’re taking care of someone else who is sick.
Time. Not enough time in the day to take care of yourself because you’re too busy taking care of everyone else.
Some people call these excuses. I call them life. Stuff happens. Yes, getting and staying in shape is important, but other things come along that take priority and have to be dealt with now.
If you have a computer, all you need is about 30 minutes and a set of resistance bands. You don’t have to leave the house and you can workout anytime of the day or night. Watch live streaming free workout videos for men and women. Chat live with the instructors and others, too. I use it with my laptop out in the living room and hook it up to one of the HDMI connectors on my flat screen TV.
If you can’t catch a live show, they’re all recorded. You can pick and choose and watch which ever show you want, when ever you want. There are no membership fees and nothing to sign up for.
An explosive strength training show for men or anyone who wants a chiseled body.
A toning show for woman. No bulking up exercise here, but these are not wimpy workouts.
