Why your New Year’s Resolutions Wont Work?

Is your New Years resolution to “get fit” or “be healthier”? It’s probably not going to work … on your own.

How can one of our Exercise Physiologists at Drummoyne, Edgecliff, Marrickville, Castle Hill, Kingsgrove, Randwick, Pymble, Neutral Bay, Coburg – Melbourne, and Barrie, Ontario – Canada help you achieve your resolutions?

Now, reading that first line might sound like we don’t want you to achieve it – we want nothing more than for you to be the healthiest version of yourself as you can. Unfortunately we know from personal experience and from research, that many of these goals and resolutions don’t get achieved or aren’t sustained long-term.

“Research from University of Scranton has shown that just 8% of people achieve their resolutions”

Sharing a goal with someone has been shown to increase the likelihood of you achieving your resolution/goal to about 65%. Okay, 2/3 likelihood isn’t too bad. BUT if you commit to someone who keeps you accountable by an appointment the percentage rockets to 95%! (Jackson et. Al, 2015)

Booking in an appointment with one of our team members will keep you accountable. It will have a minimum of 1 hour set aside per week for you to exercise. We will keep in constant contact with you between your sessions to see how your exercise is going, to find out what is and isn’t working.

Our Exercise Physiologists will work with you to develop a strategy that best suits you, to make sure the plan to achieve your goals is sustainable. Common problems that occur with people attending gyms and exercising on their own are:

• Lack of knowledge on the right exercise to do
• Injuries occurring due to improper load management and improper technique
• Burnout that occurs due to doing too much too soon
• Progress plateauing as the exercises aren’t progressed properly

The Longevity team are experts in preventing all of these reasons. We have all studied for a minimum of 4 years at university learning the science behind your body and mind.

We take into account all aspects of your life, to create a long-lasting plan for you to achieve your goals.

Training with one of our Exercise Physiologists will help you beat the statistics and help make sure that you will achieve your goals and to make these changes life-long. Don’t be part of the statistic that don’t improve their health this year. If you train with us you:

• Have a tailored plan to suit your lifestyle (time, money and exercise experience)
• Be kept accountable to your strategy
• Will be progressed safely and sustainably
• Will achieve your goals, improve your health and see progress
