Almost everyone indulges a little too much in December. It’s more about how you react afterwards. This IS going to be your typical New Year’s Resolution guide. But maybe this year it will sink in and stick around.
My first bit of advice is to make your goals realistic. Don’t tell yourself that your diet is going to be perfect, you will be at the gym 6 days a week and every morning you will get up early to walk the dog. For the average person, this won’t work. This year I will do a month by month guide for those looking to get in shape in 2012.
January
1) Control calorie intake. It’s simple, lower the amount of calories that you intake.
2) Increase your protein intake. This will help build muscle and make you feel fuller after meals.
3) Start strength training 2-3 days a week. This will help decrease fat and increase muscle.
4) Start doing low impact cardio. Walk, bike or do the elliptical. Get your body moving.
5) Think back to junior high gym class and start doing those stretches again. Mobility is extremely important.
Next month I will post our goals for February. If you have specific goals let me know and I can include some extra posts.
