Like millions of other people, you may have some fitness goals that you want to reach in 2022. And also, like millions of other people, you may struggle to stay on the right track from January through December.
Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to improve your odds of success:
• Find a partner: When you work toward your goals with someone else, they’re able to keep you accountable. And you can do the same for them.
• Be realistic: Don’t make the mistake of setting unrealistic fitness related goals. For example, if you know you won’t visit the gym five days a week, don’t make this your goal. You’re setting yourself up for success.
• Track your progress: How will you know if you’ve reached your goals if you’re not tracking your progress? With a simple tracking system, you’ll regularly motivate yourself as you inch toward the finish line.
Even if you only take one of these steps, it’ll go a long way in helping you reach your fitness goals in 2022. And when that happens, you can be proud of the fact that you stayed the course over the entire year.
