Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to New Year’s resolutions
January is often the time of year for people to commit to eating better, getting in shape and starting a new routine. However, resolutions are notoriously difficult to keep and many don’t know where to start with their good intentions.
Tammy Fulton, who owns and operates Yoga Sublime Studio in Prince Albert, said making fitness into a habit is essential when it comes to sticking with a New Year’s goal because it’s significantly easier to quit something before it becomes ingrained into your routine.
“Once they get that habit going, then they’re good to go,” Fulton said. “If they don’t establish the habit right from the beginning, those are the ones that are a little less likely to stick with it.”
It usually takes about four to six weeks to make fitness into a long-term habit, Fulton said.
