It’s almost that time of year again! With December nearly over, you might already be thinking up resolutions to kick off a healthy New Year.
Moving into a new month and a New Year can be a great mental boost for changing habits, so having some great healthy resolutions in advance is a massive head start.
If you need inspiration, here are 42 ideas for New Years resolutions we love at trainn ✨ How many of these will you be implementing?
Goals for healthy eating & drinking 🍜
Sooo much of eating healthy is in the planning! How much & how healthily you prep shapes exactly what’s going to be on your plate all week long.
1. Write a (healthy) shopping list every week to limit the spontaneous treats
2. Find 2 high protein ingredients to always stay stocked up on. Could be chickpeas & red lentils
3. Meal prep every Sunday for the week ahead
4. Find a new recipe every week
5. Decide on a ‘core’ healthy meal to cook every week. My favourite is Mediterranean Roasted Veg with chickpeas
6. Have at least 1 meat-free day per week
7. Swap sodas and fizzy drinks for flavoured waters
8.Cut down on dairy. Try buying one plant-based sub at a time
9. Include vegetables with every lunch & dinner. Serve as sides if not in a recipe
10. Eat the rainbow! Look for whole foods which aren’t just green
11. Eat fruit everyday - smoothies are great for boosting your intake.
12. Keep kitchen space clean & tidy. Try to clean up as you go along - tidy space, tidy mind
13. Try some of these healthy tips for eating out!
Goals for amazing workouts 💪🏼
The big mindset shift for me was thinking beyond what I can achieve in a month. What's important is creating habits so I can also enjoy the days, weeks & months that come after the initial boost of motivation.
14. Every Sunday, plan your workouts for the week
15. Work with a personal trainer to develop a personalised fitness regime
16. Join a gym or set up one at home
17. Keep home workout space tidy & easily accessible
18. Set realistic fitness goals - ones you can sustain and build on
19. Invest in comfy running shoes
20. Aim for at least 10,000 steps a day
21. Try new exercises or start working out with a friend
22. Stretch more after workouts. Write down a few stretches you can do
23. Start running. Perhaps set a goal to run a 10K
24. Declutter your social media for people who make you feel less good about yourself. Remember: No two fitness journeys are the same.
26. Take progress pictures every 2 months
27. Reward your achievements! New gym gear’s a great shout
Goals for a healthy lifestyle 💃
Great habits should support every part of your life, not just the gym. Building a healthy, active & satisfying lifestyle boosts your workout mindset too, so it’s a win-win on both fronts.
28. Set phone reminders to move at least once per day
29. Get 7-9 hours sleep per night. And get up before 10am on weekends
30. Be mindful of screentime. Especially late evenings when you’re winding down
31. Don’t take work home with you – de-stress when the day’s done
32. If you have a garden, try growing vegetables
33. Make outdoor plans on weekends
34. Surround yourself with positive & active friends
35. No smoking
36. Take up that sport or class you’ve always wanted to
37. Explore beyond your local area, step #20 says thanks
38. Start a new hobby
39. Write a to-do list every morning
40. Read a book every month
41. Start listening to podcasts that inspire or interest you
Goals that last more than one month 📆
42. Remember you’re human: big change doesn’t happen overnight
The changes you want aren’t going to magically appear 30 days later, but many small changes can take you further than you think - and you'll be able to keep the progress you make.
