Description:

Today we discuss the common mistakes people make starting an overambitious new fitness plan in the new year. From deciding to follow trendy, sexy, “30-day programs” posted by Instagram influencers, to skipping important assessment steps, jumping right into these short-term programs that promise a quick fix will set you up for long-term failure.  Let us help set you straight on how NOT to begin a new fitness system in 2022.

Discussion points:

  • Don’t beat yourself up, start fresh
  • Weight loss is more about lifestyle and diet than strength training or workouts
  • How Jonathan Goodman differentiates between influencers vs. real training
  • Don’t fall for the quick fix challenges if you want long term results
  • Pre-training assessments – find out your basic health markers first
  • Focus first on the seven basic human body compound movements like hinge, rotate, squat, push, pull, etc.
  • Start slow!Make sure you’re doing the basics – walk, water, sleep
  • Statistics through the first months of the year – gym visits vs. fast food consumption
