Every year, it happens. January comes and many decide that “this year will be the year” to commit to health and fitness. Some are able to follow through on their commitment. However, many more are unable to “stick to the plan” to get the results they strive for year after year. Here is a tip for those of you who go through this annually and quit by the end of January or February. Try changing your goal.
Why change the goal? Let me explain. I am not advising to never set great goals. While we all want to lose 50lbs or work out 4-5 days a week or eat healthier, it is a challenge for most to simply flip a switch and stop the bad habits established for years. If you are like many, including myself, it is challenging to make it through January or February, let alone December, maintaining the routine of working out. This is challenging for many so you’re not alone. Try creating a goal that is a 6-month plan or even a 3-month plan. We all want to accomplish great things and oftentimes we set goals that may be daunting or a bit of a challenge considering recent history of poor habits. Try losing 10lbs instead of 50lbs. Create a 3-month plan or a 6-month plan instead of a 12-month fitness-crazed plan. Keep it simple and walk before going for a sprint.
Hey – Great write up!
Do you happen to know if Vince Sant’s V Shred guide is any good?
After finding a lot of ads I’ve been looking at getting VShred, but I’m noticing a few negative opinions like https://vshredreview.com/
I’m looking for opinions on great exercises other moms have bought online to tone their bodies. I would love to get my bikini body back.

I appreciate the feedback, Samantha. As it relates to getting the bikini body back, it is possible especially if you are patient with getting results a step at a time. The body is phenomenal in that it will respond to the demands you put on it. We just need to be consistent and progressive. As it relates to Vince Sant’s V guide, I would have to do a bigger dive into it. He is currently really popular but I haven’t delved into his approach toward fitness. Who else do you use as a resource?
