Every New Year provides an opportunity to start over. Your choice for New Year’s resolutions set up your goals for the coming year. Those goals can be a big stretch or small steps toward improving the way you life. Have you worked out your New Year’s resolutions? Consider adding some of these resolutions to your list:
Walk More
Next to swimming, walking is the perfect exercise. It engages a lot of muscle groups including your cardio. It’s also low impact, which means you shouldn’t wake up the next day aching all over. The key is to start slow and build up. Start with a twenty-minute walk every other day for two weeks. Then take that up to thirty minutes. If you stopped there, then you would be getting the recommended exercise but you can always go further.
Eat a Healthy Breakfast
Yes, it is true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day but do you know why? It’s not just about giving you energy to take on the rest of the day but it’s also about firing up your metabolism. This is how you burn fat. When your metabolism is kicked into gear, your body pulls on fat cells for fuel. These disappear and you lose weight. Simple but you’ve got to eat healthy.
Cut Back On Fast Food
Speaking of eating healthy, you might want to dial back your fast food consumption. How many times a week do you hit a drive-thru? If it is more than once, then you need to start planning for alternatives. You’ll always eat healthier when you pack your own lunch. A “once in awhile” treat for fast food works. It is breaking the habit that will help you have a healthier lifestyle.
Validate More People
We probably say “thank you” a lot but perhaps for the New Year you can go one step further. Mention to that person that you’re thanking just how they’ve made things better for you in that moment. If they were a big help, then let them know. If you sense they’re having a rough day, then let them know they’re appreciated. They’ll feel great and so will you.
