PT-Approved Resolutions to Add to Your List
It’s that time of year again! The new year is just around the corner, which means many will create resolutions and set goals for the upcoming year. I want you to reflect on the goals you set last year. How did they go? How many did you accomplish? If you didn’t quite achieve what you wanted, why was that? Reflecting on what worked and didn’t work for you is key to understanding how to improve your behaviors this upcoming year. In this blog, I will lay out a few resolutions that I think everyone should have on their list this year, and I plan to make it easy to follow and implement so you will have some guaranteed goals to hit to give you momentum throughout the year.
Body Weight Exercises for Beginners
Are you getting back into exercise after a long time off? Or maybe you’ve never exercised before and aren’t sure where to start. For some, the thought of lifting weights can be a little daunting. For others, getting to the gym can be tough due to the time commitment or schedule conflict. A research study performed in 2021, showed that body weight exercise improved cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). CRF has a direct correlation with mortality and disease risk. Simply put, if someone has better CRF, their risk for disease should lower. These bodyweight exercises can be performed at home and will provide a nice starting point for beginners on their fitness journey.
