GREENVILLE, N.C. – Especially after this weekend, many of you out there probably want to lose a few pounds for the new year.
Oftentimes, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
So Nine On Your Side wants to help you stick with that weight loss resolution this year.
Tim Evans, who is the owner of Fit For Life in Greenville says about 85 percent of new memberships at gyms flake out two months into the new year.
To help you stick with it, he has some keys for success.
“There’s so many different things out there. There’s weightlifting, running, walking, yoga, boot camps, you name it, it’s out there. What’s the best thing to do if you want to get into shape for the New Year,” asked Nine On Your Side’s Rich Klindworth.
“There are a lot of things out there, each of those things are good, but typically weight training. You’ve got to go back to your old style weight training is the best way. It helps Osteoporosis, it’s very good to help building strength and helps you build lean muscle which helps you burn calories when you are standing around or if you’re at the office sitting at your desk. If you can build a little lean muscle you’re going to turn your body into a fat burning machine. There are a lot of different programs out there that you can get involved in so educate yourself find out what you like to do and try to get involved in these programs that will help you stick in there and keep your motivation going,” said Tim Evans.
“Can someone get in a good workout at home,” asked Klindworth.
“Things at home are good, but it takes a unique person to do that. They get you so psyched up cause they get on TV and know how to make those commercials where you really want to get it and you really see yourself doing it, but the big part about it is proper nutrition,” said Evans.
“You feel anybody can look slim and trim anymore,” asked Klindworth.
“Anybody can do it. Like anything it takes hard work and discipline and you have to realize your body’s different than maybe the person next to you so don’t always look at yourself and try to compare yourself find out what’s only good for you,” said Evans.
It might cost you more at first, but if you’re a beginner, Evans recommends you get a personal trainer so that you get on the right workout routine for you.
Coming up this week, we will look at other areas of your life that many of us want to improve on like diet, finances, your taxes, and how to make sure your New Years resolution lasts 366 days.
