As a trainer, I come across a lot of gym-goers who are still struggling to lose those last 15 or 20 pounds. While they`re working diligently in the gym, I still see many whom are doing their old high school routine. It goes something like this:the chest press machine, the leg press machine, and then a few sets of the crunch machine.
The most common New Year’s resolution I hear in my office in December and January is a commitment to lose weight, with a request for a magic pellet or herbal pill to make that happen. My answer is always the same, and always will be: “Losing weight is easy, you just have to change some of your habits!”
Every year around this time life gets a little more exciting. With schools transitioning to winter break, the electric atmosphere at the malls, and not to mention the hurried days in between Christmas and New Years, our lives can become quite manic. Ironically, somewhere within all the chaos we all find ourselves looking towards New Year’s Day as some sort of finish line.
