So there we were, just a few weeks ago, prompted by the start of a new year (not to mention a killer hangover), promising that this time we really were going to turn over a new leaf.<\/p>\n

Here we are now, halfway through a grey February. And our determination to get fit, run that marathon, come to Ten 3 times a week, (tick whichever applies) is beginning to falter.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve hit the willpower wall, here are a few tips<\/strong> to help you get through it with your good intentions intact:<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t worry<\/h3>\n

This is normal. You\u2019re now a few weeks into the new year, the initial rate of improvement has slowed down a bit and it\u2019s easy to feel that you\u2019re not improving. But, trust me, you are.<\/p>\n

2. Change it up<\/h3>\n

Everyone\u2019s on the same path, so gyms and classes are often full, and it\u2019s easy to see that as an excuse to fall off the programme. Shake it up a bit instead \u2013 try machines or exercises or classes you haven\u2019t done before, go at a different time or on a different day.<\/p>\n

3. The best way to stay motivated is to stay interested<\/h3>\n

Do something new. Ever tried spin? Tango? Martial arts? Green gym? How about some PT sessions? Whatever it is, there\u2019s never been a better time to give it a go \u2013 who knows, you might just love it.<\/p>\n

4. Together is better<\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t have a training buddy, now\u2019s the perfect time to get one. You\u2019ll be in it together, you\u2019ll gee each other up, and keep each other going. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s always harder to quit if you know you\u2019ll be letting someone else down.<\/p>\n

5. Look forward<\/h3>\n

Think about summer, think about how you\u2019re going to look and feel when you\u2019ve achieved your goals.<\/p>\n

\n

One last thought<\/strong> \u2013 the best thing about February (except maybe Valentines day) is that\u2019s a short month. It\u2019ll be over soon, so suck it up, tough it out, and let this be the year you surprise yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
