Not Enough MoneyĪ new goal usually comes at a cost, whether it’s a new gym membership or new kit, money can be a deciding factor in you achieving your goal. Prioritise your goal as of importance to you and you’re sure to find time to work at it. For example, we created EHOH, every hour on the hour, where we exercise for a few minutes at a time to combat the negative effects of having a sedentary office job. Fitness doesn’t take hours and hours, it just takes good planning. Setting slots in advance for exercise or breaking routines into 5-minute goals and targets can help to knock your goal down into more manageable time frames. Not Enough TimeĪs with any goal, sometimes it’s hard to find the time to make it work and so for many fitness goals, this can be the reason we fail.

We need to hang on in there! Having a plan of how you’re going to achieve your goals once the excitement wears off can help you to stay focused. January is a tough old month, it’s cold, it’s dark, everyone’s got hangovers and it's another 11 months before next Christmas, talk about January blues.because of this, it seems to take less of an excuse for us to give up on our goals. It may mean downsizing your goal for now, but keeping it as a goal to work towards in the future, as part of your bigger picture. You can do this by truly analysing your goal, taking a good hard look at yourself and weighing up whether your fitness goal is realistic. If you want to lose weight, put a number on it that's achievable, rather than leaving it open-ended or expecting the world in just a few months. It’s important to set a New Year's Resolution which is realistic, you can’t be expecting a Christmas miracle to conquer your New Year’s resolution for you. A problem shared is a problem halved - training with someone towards your goal, be it a friend or a PT adds twice the motivation and can help to ensure you don’t let yourself, or your partner down.Sharing a goal suggests you’re truly serious about wanting to make it happen, as you wouldn’t want to be seen as a failure. In fact, we need to think more - strength in numbers, by sharing our goals with others we are more likely to succeed for two reasons. We won’t tell anyone what we’re working towards in fear of failure. Many of us set our fitness goals and then try to achieve them alone.
