Do you try a new, intensive training in the new year? There are actually good reasons why you shouldn't go full throttle. A study showed that up to 73 percent of the people whoSet fitness antiefs, stop before reaching your goals. Experts claim that they should not make too much effort at the beginning of the year, as this could lead to injuries. Instead, they propose to motivate themselves to achieve the long term results.
Intensive training is not always productive
Every year, millions of people promise to become fit again in the new year. According to a 2018 survey, more exercise, healthier food and weight loss are the most common goals for the new year. They make up about a third of all annual proposals.
The plan,Extremely in the gymTo train, however, often ends with misfires. A study showed that up to 73 percent of the people who have set fitness antiquities stop before reaching their goals. While it is too difficult for many people to stay on track and take the time for the gym, others make too much effort to train quickly and burn fat quickly and risk injuries. This way you avoid the 73 percent that never reach your new fitness goals.
The new year is often marketed as time for improvements or new beginnings. There is a lot of sensation and pressure in our society to live according to the motto "New Year, New Me".
"This can upset and motivate people at the beginning, but often leads to unrealistic expectations and obligations instead of gradually integrating new habits so that they become part of their lifestyle," says Taryn Toomey, the founder of a fitness training. As a result, some people put themselves under great pressure to do a lot of sport in a short time.
"Too many people do not know their limits and sometimes we are a little bit when we believe that we could do more than really," said Sharon Zarabi, trained dietologist and personal fitness trainer in New York. Instead of determining New Year's resolutions that you have to keep, she recommends accepting a new daily intent, in which every day offers a new opportunity to get closer to your goals.
Too hard training leads to burnout and injuries
Deanna Crosby, the clinical director of New Method Wellness in San Juan Capistrano California, says that many people work too hard on their fitness targets in the new year and ultimately have problems.
"If you have not created enough space in your life for a goal, it can be overwhelming and you will start to exert too much pressure at once," said Crosby.
It is better to consider fitness as a lifelong goal and part of your daily routine. Otherwise you can quickly remove this from your list. Too fast overexertion can not only lead to burnout, but also to a dangerous overexertion that only further affects its fitness. If your muscles are not used to all exercises, you can make an effort.
"It is easier to train false than right - and this leads to injuries for most people and prevents them from sticking to their fitness goals."
