New Year’s Resolutions for Active People

By

What New Year’s resolutions are you making this year? While the most common resolutions are typically related to fitness and health, if you practically live for your morning workout, generic ones like “start a fitness routine” don’t necessarily apply since you’ve passed the beginning stage in your fitness journey.

So, what should already active people strive to do this year? Let’s take a look at some next-level fitness and wellness goals that will challenge you to push forward and shape a better you.

Mix Things Up

Is your workout routine starting to feel a little, well, routine? Once you’ve hit your old goals and the gym routine is more about maintaining, it’s easy to feel uninspired while you’re treading away on the stair stepper. The gym should feel like your creative, happy place where you can burn off some steam and excite your mind, body and soul.

Not feeling it lately? Luckily, there’s an easy fix: Make it a resolution to try new types of workouts, sports and routines this year to keep you on your toes. Whether that means lacing up your basketball shoes and shooting some hoops or signing up for that Jiu-Jitsu class you’ve been considering for a while, make it happen!

Take Your Brain to the Gym

Not only should you work out your muscles while you’re in the gym, but you should also take your mind to the gym too. For many, that means reading regularly, but when we lead busy lives with barely enough time to get into the actual gym on some days, finding the time to pick up a book or do a brain-teasing puzzle might be a challenge.

The solution? Treat exercising your brain like a nonnegotiable item on your daily to-do list—just like your actual workout. Nothing can come between you and your goals when you treat them as true priorities for the day. Pretty soon, the habit will stick, and your mind will be stronger and sharper because of it.

Invest in Your Fitness

You certainly invest a ton of time into your fitness routine, but sometimes the only way to level up is to spend a bit more as well. However, that doesn’t mean wasting your money on useless fads and gadgets that may excite you for a moment before being stored in the back of the closet. Instead, invest in things that will provide real value that you will actually use.

For example, that might mean upgrading your membership to include access to other parts of the gym or a new, better gym altogether. Or, it could mean getting rid of your old, ratty T-shirts and shorts in favor of premium workout clothes for men or women that will keep you more comfortable during your training sessions. Whatever the case, if your fitness is important to you, invest in it, and your return will be better because of it.

What goals and resolutions do you hope to keep this year? Whatever they are, make sure to set them high, write them down and put in the work to make them happen this year!
