So its Jan 1st…again.
For many people this means new years resolution time…and like a bad case of deja vu…it’s typically the SAME resolutions EVERY YEAR.
“I’m going to lose weight”
“I’m going to eat healthy”
“I’m going to go to the the gym every SINGLE DAY”
The problem with these resolutions is that..well..they are boring.
So this year, lets shake it up.
First..let’s combine the first two “traditional” resolutions ..”I am going to eat healthy and lose weight”..throw it out, and replace it with:
I am going to commit to getting results by doing nothing
Way more fun…and if you think about it, that’s exactly what happens when you follow Eat Stop Eat…all of your weight loss success come from…doing NOTHING!
Next, lets take the traditional resolution of “I will go to the gym every single day” and replace it with something much easier and FAR more effective:
I will record my workouts in a journal, and will try to improve with each workout
Like I said, much easier, and 100 times more effective.
Lastly, lets add one more resolution to the mix:
I will commit to one strength goal this year
I like this one becuase it really focuses your workouts, and because strength in the gym is a great measure of improvement.
For me, I commit to doing a standing barbell shoulder press with 225 pounds. It has been a goal of mine for a while now, but 2009 is going to be the year that I accomplish this.
So there are three health and fitness resolutions that are not traditional, not boring, but are super effective.
BP
PS- My own personal new years resolutions are to explore the first resolution to its fullest
I will commit to getting results by doing nothing
I am starting to think that this may have a far greater reach than simply intermittent fasting and weight loss.
