New Year's Fitness Resolutions: How to Keep Them
The start of a new year often means making resolutions. For many of us, exercise is at the top of the list: getting back in shape, gaining muscle mass, losing weight, or simply staying active. But let's be honest, how many times have we given up on our resolutions before the end of January? This time is different. Together, we'll make sure you achieve your goals and stick to them for the long term.
Set achievable goals
The first step to keeping your resolutions is setting realistic goals. Too often, we set ourselves enormous ambitions that end up discouraging us. Rather than aiming for "I want to lose 10 kilos in a month," why not focus on losing 1 to 2 kilos per month? This will help you stay on track in the long term.
Prepare a suitable action plan for yourself
Once you've defined your goals, it's time to plan. Your training program and diet should be consistent with what you want to accomplish. For example, if your goal is to build strength, plan sessions focused on hypertrophy and supplement them with protein-rich foods and supplements like Creapure® creatine .
For example, you can organize your weeks like this:
- Monday : Full body session + recovery supplements ( BCAA ).
- Wednesday : Moderate cardio + energy snack ( protein balls or bars ).
- Friday : Maximum strength (lower body) + creatine to optimize performance.
- Sunday : Active recovery or yoga.
Make food supplements your allies
It can't be stressed enough: dietary supplements aren't a miracle solution, but rather a way to support a balanced diet and workout routine. Used correctly, they can be a valuable aid in achieving your goals.
How to choose your supplements?
- If you have difficulty recovering after workouts: BCAAs help reduce muscle fatigue and promote repair.
- If you're more of a low energy person: A protein-rich snack, like our protein balls , for a quick energy boost.
- If you want to support your muscle gain: Pure Whey Isolate boosts your daily protein intake, essential for muscle synthesis.
Find your motivation system
We know it's not easy to stay motivated throughout the year. Some days you'll feel invincible, and others it'll be difficult to get off the couch. To avoid giving up, find what motivates you to keep going. We have our little tips for staying on track:
- Join a community : Sharing your progress with others, on social media for example, can motivate you. Mutual support is key!
- Note your results : Keep a notebook to track your performances, your results or even your weight.
- Reward yourself : Allow yourself a small treat (a cheat meal or a new workout outfit) when you reach a goal.
Be kind to yourself
Nobody's perfect. There will be times when you miss a session or indulge in a less balanced meal. The important thing is not to feel guilty and to resume your action plan the next day. The important thing is to never lose sight of your resolutions. A break doesn't mean giving up.
Every step forward, no matter how small, deserves to be celebrated. Whether you're able to run longer, lift heavier, or simply feel better about yourself, every victory counts. So celebrate every one!
