http://fitnesstogether.com/missionhills - Most of us look at each new year as fresh start opportunity. That's why New Year's resolutions are so popular. They give us the definitive chance to hit the reset button or commit to new goals we've maybe been lax about. Unfortunately, the resolution fail rate is high and there are a number of reasons why. First, winter is a naturally dormant time of year, so starting something new goes a bit against our biological grain. You have to be really committed and focused to launch a new program and stay the course.Second, the holidays are followed immediately by back to work and back to school frenzies and for many it feels like our busy lifestyles are especially busy this time of year.Third, inertia rules. Newton's first law of physics could be the personal motto for many of us: A body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by another force—in this case, an inner force called resoluteness.So what's the prescription for success in the face of these odds? The first one, according to Blake Beckcom, owner and lead trainer at Fitness Together Mission Hills, is Commitment Then Action. One way to create a deeper level of health and fitness commitment is by working out with someone and not going it alone. Research indicates that the presence of others around you during a workout session and the effects of competition can have a positive influence on your exertion and fitness performance levels. A fitness buddy on the same path as you, can become a "partner in the trenches" helping you to work harder at it, and to stay the course. A Professional Fitness Trainer creates safe effective workouts geared to where you are fitness wise, and self accountability via an appointment system. Whether it is a fitness buddy or Personal Trainer, in either case, accountability is borne out of expectations. It is a lot easier to get yourself off the couch and out the door if you know someone is waiting to workout with you.
