5 Healthy New Year’s Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

Neven • January 21, 2024

Welcome to a journey of well-being in 2024! We understand the struggle of sticking to New Year’s resolutions, so we’ve curated a list of five health-focused goals that are not only achievable but also enjoyable. Let’s dive into resolutions you can genuinely keep and we even threw in a bonus tip for added fun!

 

  1. Hydrate Happily: The Water Intake Resolution 💦

Kiss dehydration goodbye and embrace the refreshing world of proper hydration! Challenge yourself to drink enough water each day. Invest in a stylish water bottle ( ( Frank Green is the rage in the junior gym class), set hourly reminders, or infuse your water with fruits or hydrolyte (I use Hydration Up ) for a flavourful twist. This resolution is not just about meeting a quota; it’s about embracing the energy and vitality that comes with staying well-hydrated.

  1. Snooze and Cruise: The Sleep Resolution 😴

Bid farewell to restless nights and embrace the power of quality sleep! Set a consistent bedtime routine, keep your sleep environment cosy, and unplug from electronic devices before bedtime. I recommend leaving mobile devices outside your room, as they can disrupt your sleep with notifications and blue light.

Sleep is your body’s time to recharge, so make it a priority. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the day!

 

  1. Pump and Progress: The Gym Consistency Resolution 🏋️‍♀️

Want to age fabulously? Keep those muscles happy with strength training! After 30, muscles play hide-and-seek, decreasing 3-8% each decade, especially after 60.

Create a consistent gym routine, emphasizing the incredible benefits of weight lifting at least twice a week. Prioritize your workout times, and commit to them—it’s all about showing up! If a session is missed, reschedule it or consider it a rare cameo, not the main act. Neglecting muscles invites unwelcome guests like fat accumulation, insulin resistance, and reduced bone density. Embrace strength training to tackle weakness, preserve bone density, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. The outcome? Independence and vitality in your 60s and beyond!

  1. Stroll and Savor: The After-Meal Walk Resolution 🚶‍♂️

Incorporate the delightful tradition of post-meal strolls into your routine. Not only does it aid digestion, but it also provides a serene moment to reflect. Whether it’s a park, your neighbourhood, or even your backyard, take a leisurely walk after lunch or dinner. It’s a simple yet powerful way to boost your overall well-being.

 

  1. Sip Smartly: The Sweetened Beverage Resolution 🥤

Give your health a sweet makeover by cutting back on sugary beverages, including alcohol. Opt for infused water, herbal teas, or sparkling water as refreshing alternatives. Your taste buds will adapt, and your body will thank you for the reduced sugar intake. It’s a small change with significant health benefits!

 

Bonus Tip: The Power of One More! 💪

Challenge yourself to push a little further, whether it’s one more rep, one more minute, or one more healthy choice. The power of ‘one more’ adds up over time, leading to continuous improvement and success in your wellness journey.

Every extra effort accumulates! Ponder this: just one more squat per session, twice a week, for 52 weeks, adds up to a whopping 104 squats in a year. And that’s the baseline – imagine the gains if you hit the gym more frequently!

Extra Fun: The Cold Splash Finale! ❄

Cap off your shower routine with a burst of cold water for 30 seconds. It’s an invigorating experience that stimulates circulation, boosts mood, and enhances resilience. The chilly surprise at the end might just become your favourite part of the day!

 

Here’s to a sparkling year filled with health, happiness, and achievable resolutions. Let’s make 2024 the year we prioritise our well-being and relish in the joy of healthier living!
