It’s time to get fit! After all of our holiday indulgences, we feel a bit ‘weighed down’ after the season and looking to shed those unwanted holiday pounds. In fact 45% of set “losing weight or get in shape” as our New Years’ Resolution, but unfortunately the odds are against us.  According to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. So instead of falling into the same unsuccessful routine, this year let’s make a plan to keep those resolutions and get fit in 2019!

Here are some tips to keep the resolution to get in shape:

1. First of all, keep your goals realistic and make a clear plan. Strive for a goal that is attainable, for example instead of completely eliminating a favorite food, limit the frequency and portions when you enjoy it. Instead of ambitious workout goals or running miles, instead start with a brisk walk for fifteen minutes and then work up your endurance for longer and more strenuous workouts as you go.
2. Just start!  It’s already a week after New Years Day, so why wait?  Don’t wait for a Monday or the weekend, but get started today! As Thomas Jefferson said, “Never put off for tomorrow, what you can do today.”
3. Outline your plan.  Writing down a plan of action, keeping a food and exercise journal of your progress and even including a friend or partner in your plan will help keep you motivated and on track. Implement healthy calorie-free rewards as you reach periodic goals, like a night out with the girls, a cute outfit or a new pair of shoes.
4. Make adjustments as needed. If you’ve had a setback or you realize your schedule cannot maintain working out as often as you’d like, make needed adjustments. For example, if you initially started out working out 5-6 days a week, going down to 2-3 times on some weeks is not a failure. Just look at any extra days as a bonus.
5. Be kind to yourself. The worst you can do is beat yourself up over a missed work-out or that piece of chocolate cake you now regret. Train your perspective on the long-term goal, and stop obsessing over today’s mishap. Thinking positively about your effort will keep you on track. And every now and then, reward yourself with a small treat.
6. Enter the Soft Shoe Giveaway.  High quality shoes and workout clothes not only keep you motivated because you look great, but they will increase performance, decrease injury, soreness and fatigue. Soft Shoe is here to help! We are offering a New Years’ Resolution Giveaway by giving away ONE pair of either women’s or men’s Brooks running shoes. (See below for details).
7. Get a FREE foot scan at Soft Shoe: When our staff know how to match the right orthotic insert or running shoe with your foot, you will find more comfort as you walk, work, play, stand and run. The recommended shoes can help ensure that the bones, ligaments and tendons in your feet and lower legs are aligned and positioned properly. This helps to ease pain and stress on the feet and can improve the functioning of the muscles over time. Soft Shoes offer this latest technology, a comprehensive foot scan, and analysis and recommendations by our trained staff for … FREE. It only takes a few minutes and no appointment is necessary.
