January is the No. 1 month, bar none, when it comes to exercise participation. Why? Simple: New Year’s Resolutions are still fresh in the mind, and “Lose weight,” “Join a Gym,” “Exercise More,” etc., are at the top of many people’s list.
But then February hits and for whatever reason, the enthusiasm often fades and exercise becomes relegated to next year’s resolutions.
How can you get past January and keep your exercise drive going strong all year? Here are four tips to keep you on track.
1. Timing Is Everything: Some people can wake up at 5:00 a.m. and hit the gym; for others, it’s a late-night enterprise. Fatigue, family and job responsibilities, and sheer preference all play a role. Find the time that works best for you and you'll significantly up your chances of staying the course.
