BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Happy New Year Western New York! It's time for the New Year's resolutions to start kicking off. According to a new survey from Forbes Health, the top three New Year's resolutions include improving finances, mental health, and fitness.
Well, we're giving you a few tips from F45 Training on how to get your fitness journey started!
1. Getting Started
"I recommend starting small. If you're starting from nothing, start small. If you're already going and have goals, then increase intensity or duration. If you're starting from nothing, I recommend starting like three times a week for 20 minutes. Start from there and then slowly build as you get stronger."
Carolyn McAfee, Trainer at F45 Training Black Rock
2. Prioritizing time to workout
"You have to just set it aside. Like 5:15, [the gym] is where I'll be and you know, it helps to have people around you who are doing the same thing. When you come to the gym at 5:15 you know you're not alone. It's a whole group of people who know when you're missing. A community helps."
Carolyn McAfee, Trainer at F45 Training Black Rock
3. Creating more positive habits
"All sorts of self-care. Being more mindful of what we put in our bodies and maybe not overfueling ourselves for the expenditure that we're putting out. Resting is helpful for us, taking a break from life, and just meditating or quieting your mind."
Carolyn McAfee, Trainer at F45 Training Black Rock
