Today we are talking about getting your mind (and life) in order before beginning any training or nutrition program in the new year. So many people make huge changes in their lives (moving, having a baby, starting a new job) and decide to tack on a new fitness program at the same time. Sadly this rarely works out and people end up dropping out of the fitness program very quickly.
We always recommend that you clear away all the literal and figurative clutter in your life before you embark on sweeping changes in your diet or fitness plan. Tune in to hear our recommendations for getting yourself and your attitude truly ready to begin your new path to health and fitness in 2022.
