Congratulations on committing to active living for the next six weeks! Experts say this is plenty of time to form a new habit, and the form below is a proven way to help make it happen. While you will achieve health benefits in these first six weeks, the most important changes you will experience will likely be the positive new way you will feel about yourself and your life.
Consult a Sommet Fitness personal trainer to help you design a six-week program. Or you can begin by designing a simple activity plan for yourself—for example, walking the dog three times a week and yoga once a week, or meeting with your trainer twice a week and biking once a week, and so on.
Remember that your program should fit you! Note that you should plan healthy eating habits and stress management tools into your six-week program. All of these healthy behaviors work together. Keep in mind that moderate changes will be the ones that make the biggest overall difference because you will be able to stick with them.
A Final Note
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," Confucius said. The same applies to fitness. Get started, set your goals, track your progress, be consistent, and in no time you will discover you joined the millions of others who've embraced an active lifestyle! We hope this will motivate you to get and stay active . . . for life.
