New Years Resolutions: Every year, at this time, all of us feel like we want to improve on some things that we may have been ignoring in our lives. Working less, spending more time with the kids and getting back into the gym! The problem with these New Year’s resolutions is that people tend to start strong and then fade out, conveniently setting up our next year’s resolutions! Maybe a better idea is to resolve to be consistent; consistent with your family, with your work, and with your play. By resolving to maintain a consistent effort, we won't get the tortoise and the hare effect.
My advice to everyone getting back in the gym: make a schedule that balances with your work and your family and then stick to it! Don’t come 6 days a week and then figure out that both your wife and your body won’t speak to you anymore. Making sure that your family, work, and play situations fit together nicely will help insure that you can be consistent with all the elements in your life.
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and I will see you at The MMA LAB!
