Starting Your Fitness Journey: How to start (and keep a healthy lifestyle)

Welcome to March. If you are still on track for your New Year's fitness resolution, then congratulations as research shows more than half of the population doesn't stick to their goal past Feb!  If you have fallen off the wagon already, then don't despair as there is plenty of time left in the year to achieve your goals if you start today.  To keep you on track (or get back on track) here's a few short ideas to help inspire you to keep moving forward and ensure you can get through all the speed bumps along the way.

When it comes to health, we generally grow up to adopt the habits and behaviours of our parents. There is something in us humans that makes us regress to the middle when it comes to most habits. Hang out with people that drink, and you will drink more, hang out with a group of smokers and the likelihood that you become a smoker goes through the roof. It's little wonder that when children grow up in a household with one overweight parent are much more likely to grow up overweight. In a 2017 study in the Journal of Clinical Research in Paediatric Endocrinology boys were 2.79x and girls 3.46x more likely to be overweight. It's hard being healthy these days; we don't need any more of a handicap.

One of the issues with this time of the year is that people put on weight and think that it is inevitable. I for one believe that you should be able to enjoy yourself and the people close to you without destroying all the good work you have done to get to this point. 

Most people when it comes to losing weight have tried at one time or another to get a 'quick fix'. The sad news is there isn't a quick fix, but there is a magic pill!
