Keep your health and fitness on track width David Lloyd leisure
Now is the time of year when many people find themselves lacking the motivation or support to help them stick to their healthy New Year resolutions. In fact David Lloyd Leisure has found that despite good intentions over 70% of those questioned had already slipped into their old habits by the end of March.
We are proud that more of our members achieve their heath and fitness goals than with any other health and fitness group. So to help you keep motivated or kick start those resolutions, have a look at these top tips from our health & fitness experts:
Make exercise enjoyable - keeping fit shouldn't be a chore. Exercise can and should be fun, so find activities, classes or sports that you enjoy and do them regularly.
Exercise with a friend - get a training buddy to workout with. You will motivate each other and make exercise more enjoyable.
Ensure your goals are realistic - don't set yourself unattainable goals. Be realistic and break your goal into smaller achievable chunks.
Enter an event - training for a 5km or 10km run will ensure you have a defined goal to aim for which will give you focus, particularly if you tell your friends about the commitment you have made and are running for charity.
Celebrate success - promise yourself a fun reward when you reach one of your targets and tell your friends about your achievements.
Make time for exercise - put aside some time in your diary each week for exercise and even better book yourself onto some group exercise classes.
Get some expert help - most health clubs, like David Lloyd Leisure, will provide personalised training programmes for each member and their health & fitness teams are always on hand to provide additional support and motivation.
