How to Take Your Fitness to the Next Level

You told yourself at the beginning of the year that you would get fit. The plan was to go to the gym every day and eat healthier. For whatever reason, though, you’ve struggled to make it happen. There’s no need to be embarrassed. The fact is that many Americans struggle to keep their New Year’s fitness resolutions. Why is this? Well, we tend to take a “go-for-broke” mentality when it comes to fitness gains. By taking a smarter and safer transition, you can see noticeable results over time without getting burned out. Here are some easy tips to implement as you take charge of your health:

Know your current fitness level - It seems like yesterday that you were working out and playing multiple sports on a regular basis. Frankly, it’s easy to dwell on how great of shape you were in recently. Again, don’t let it get you down. Take the time to figure out what you already do in terms of fitness. Maybe it’s the occasional walk at work or strength training regimen at home. Next, look at how hard you work. Experts would agree that we need to engage in high-intensity interval exercise every now and then. Lastly, assess how often you exercise and how long you do it. Once you have all this information, a baseline is established. While you may have a few strengths, we’re willing to bet you have several weakness to shore up as well.
Set goals - Why do you want to take on such a major lifestyle change? Is it to lose weight or build muscle? It could be that you have your eye on a marathon down the road and need to start training now. Whatever the case, it’s imperative to set realistic, yet specific goals. Let’s revisit the weight loss example for a minute. You probably shouldn’t expect to shed 25 pounds in the first month. Instead, shoot to lose a few pounds each month. That gradual progress will keep you on track.
Increase the intensity - You want to see results, right? Then it’s important to ramp up your exercise intensity. Make it a point to really get outside of your fitness comfort zone. Unfortunately, 20 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes of weights won’t always get the job done. Do what you can to mix in cross training, interval training, and resistance work for better results. TheMayo Clinic recommends first increasing the frequency of your activity (number of days a week). Then you can move on to increase the length of each workout and, of course, the intensity when you’re ready.
