FitnessSoftware.com offers 10 tips to keep New Years Resolutions on Track

December 23, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Based on 12 years of delivering our Crosstrainer personal fitness management software to thousands of dedicated customers, here are some simple ways to keep any fitness resolution on track:
1.Set goals - make them meaningful and measurable on a daily basis.
2.Do not focus on your desired outcome (i.e.: losing 20 lbs) - people become too easily discouraged when the changes are not immediate.
3.Focus on the process of what it will take to get to your desired outcome (i.e.: 30 minutes of Cardio/day).
4.Workout with your spouse - research indicates that couples who workout together remain committed to their program much longer than singles.
5.Schedule your workouts - one of the main barriers to exercise success is time. Although time is precious, so is your health. Make room in your busy schedule and give yourself a break.
6.Select activities you enjoy and find interesting - not everyone needs to lift weights or run a marathon.
7.Documenting your workouts provides motivation - fitness management software like Crosstrainer is an effective tool to schedule time and track progress.
8.Set achievable performance goals - one of the main factors shared by successful athletes is their ability to achieve a mastery over their skill and build on that to push their limits; the first mile begins with one step.
9.As you master your activity, increase the difficulty level to keep it challenging.
10.Workout in a convenient location - look for facilities that are close to home or place of work as it will save time and hassle.
Remember, start slowly…. it is important gradually build up a program and if starting a new program, do so with consent of your Doctor.
