Consistency, commitment key to fitness-related New Year’s resolutions – Valley morning Star

Fitness Comments Off on Consistency, commitment key to fitness-related New Year’s resolutions – Valley morning Star

It may only be the first week of December, but its never too early to think about that New Years resolution to get fit in 2020.

While a commitment to fitness is often one of the most popular resolutions, it can also be one of the easiest to let fall by the wayside as schedules get busy after the holidays.

While making the commitment to staying active and making healthier choices can be challenging, Veronica Garza, Manager of the Valley Baptist Health & Fitness Center, said there are steps we can all take over the course of the holiday season and beyond to give health-related New Years resolutions the greatest odds of success.

Its important to find something you like and something know youre going to stick with. If you start a class or an activity that you just dont enjoy, youre not going to want to continue to do it. That is unique to everyone, and you need to find something that works for you and do your best, Garza said. Start two to three times a week, especially now. Dont wait until after the holidays. If you want to lead a healthier lifestyle, start moving. There is so much sitting in our lives now, but there are so many things you can do at home to get ready for making that resolution a success.

Planning while keeping long-term goals in mind can be a major challenge when it comes to a successful healthy New Years resolution. All too often, Garza said she sees too many new clients trying to do too much, too soon.

People start so strong. They come in and they want to give 110 percent. We see it all the time, especially in January. They want to work hard and they want to make changes, so they come in seven days a week and theyre here for three hours, she said. They completely stop eating certain meals and thats where we see people not staying with their resolution. They want to make a change that is temporary and fast, but what we preach all the time is a lifestyle change. This is something youre doing for the rest of your life.

For those looking to join a gym as part of their New Years resolution to fitness, Garza said her staff of 30 employees at the Valley Baptist Health & Fitness Center the majority of which are fitness course instructors and personal trainers is committed to helping others reach their exercise goals.

The 38,000-square-foot fitness center includes mens and womens locker rooms, sauna, heated pool, multiple spacious exercise and weight machine and equipment rooms, and more, is located at 3100 N. Augusta National Drive in Harlingen. Fitness center hours are 4:45 a.m. 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Perhaps most important, Garza said, is the feeling of community and togetherness that is encouraged by the facilitys members and training staff.

A lot of people need the extra motivation of a group setting. We encourage people to come in and try a class, because its a whole group working together and encouraging each other. Its a team and we really work to build relationships, she said. We tell people, just make the commitment to come in the door. Once youre through those doors, weve got you. Were here to help you reach your goals. We build relationships with our clients we push them, we inspire and motivate them, and we love what we do here.
