Make sure you look after your body, not just after your workout but also before, this will help you to enter and leave the gym in the right frame of mind.

However, for exercise, it’s also vital that you fuel your body with food that will give you energy. When there is talk about food it often covers staying away from fatty foods, making sure you eat your greens and drinking plenty of water. Whether you workout together on the weights, run or find a class that suits both your needs, working out with someone won’t only help you to enjoy working out more, it may also drive you to focus on your fitness goals and achieve your objectives with a friend or family member. If you’ve been working out on your own, then you may feel lonely and struggle to find the motivation to continue. Many people find it easier to workout with friends and family. Once you are settled into a routine that includes visits to the gym, you’ll be able to see exercise as part of your life and not an extra chore to squeeze in. Scheduling a visit to the gym on certain days, early morning, during lunch or after work, will help you to include your fitness regime as part of your normal life and not something extra you need to do.

However, there are many things you can do to ensure that you can stay on track and not only keep your New Year’s resolutions, but drive yourself towards a better body and healthier lifestyle.
