Monday Tip: Plan for Your New Year's Resolution

Happy Monday everyone! Can you believe this year is coming to an end? With it comes the idea of new beginnings. The number one resolution that people have for the new year and new beginnings is weight loss. Not a surprise, but why don’t you start early and pave the way for success in the new year of healthy habits now?


There are so many little things you can do now to prepare you for your ultimate success in the new year. And if you start now, then you have time to come up with another resolution because you’ll have a plan to achieve success and that’s half the battle.

Start small. I’m sure that with all of the friends and family creating a vortex in your living room, you have eaten out more than in this holiday season. Take a trip to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s and stock up on healthy foods to fill your refrigerator. Take a minute to pass out the last of the candy and cookies and then don’t look back. Start eating healthy meals at home before the new year comes.

Talk a walk. You may not be quite ready for full-on beast mode in the gym yet, but if you start out by walking, you’re on your way. Exercise more each day until you’re ready to tackle the new year in the gym.

Drink a lot of water. A good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water every day. It’s hard to remember to do that sometimes, so invest in a water bottle and carry it with you everywhere. If you’re not a fan of drinking straight up water, infuse it with some strawberries, mint or cucumbers to give it a hint of flavor. The water will begin to flush your system.

With the addition of your healthy meals, and walking, you’re well on your way to a healthier, fitter you!

Andrea has been at IPT since July of 2023 and has been the definition of consistency! She always makes adjustments to her nutrition and exercise when needed and pushes herself in workouts every single time. Each month she exceeds her goal of losing body fat mass, and has lost a total of 24lbs of BFM since joining! She's able to chest press 25 lb dumb bells and can do a full pushup without any assistance now. You can really see the difference in how Andrea carries herself and the confidence she has now compared to her first day at IPT. She completely transformed her life for the better!

Hi, my name is Dylan and I’ve been at IPT since December of 2022, and my fitness habits have greatly improved since then! Since I started at IPT, I’ve been consistent with all of my workouts at the gym, my workouts outside of the gym, and my nutrition. I’ve lost 13.2 pounds of body fat, and have gotten stronger and faster with every session. My training at IPT has helped me to throw a no-hitter this baseball season as well as decrease my 40 yard sprint time!
