First aid for dropping out

March is the month that many people's good intentions are officially over. Marije from Fitness Bible for Women offers first aid for dropping out. Read her blog.

Marije: Well, it's almost March. What happened to your New Year's resolution(s)? For many people, February is the month when good intentions slowly fade away.

Jo-jo'ers
Did you know that the February dropouts almost completely stopped in March and then decided to start again in May, when the bikini season approaches? Also know that this group of people often has not yet achieved the desired results in August due to this yo-yo. What should you do if you find yourself getting stuck?

Two essential actions:ALWAYS &DO IT IMMEDIATELY!

Step 1=Organization
Everything stands or falls with organization! Re-organize your life by planning your food and sports appointments, doing the right errands and throwing away all temptations. Organization becomes automatism. In most people this happens after 30 days to 6 weeks. So persevere.

Step 2=Make an appointment with a coach or trainer immediately
People who receive guidance from a trainer or coach are many times more successful in achieving results. This is because a trainer helps with organization (step 1).

Step 3=Ban the excuse
Making excuses is the beginning of the end. Ban the excuse by doing it right. Examples:I'm tired so I'm going, I don't have time so I'm going… Got it?
