As the countdown to the new year begins, many of us reflect on the goals we want to achieve. For many, this includes taking charge of health and fitness. But before you dive headfirst into a new routine, let’s focus on a different type of training: mental preparation and planning
A strong mindset is the foundation for any successful journey, and with the right strategies, you can make this your year to thrive. Here’s your mental training plan to prepare, plan, and stay on track with your health and fitness goals in the new year.
1. Set Realistic, Achievable Goals
Big dreams are fantastic, but setting overly ambitious resolutions can lead to burnout. Break your goals into smaller, actionable steps. Instead of saying, “I’ll lose 20 pounds,” aim for “I’ll commit to working out three times a week and eating more vegetables daily.”
At Planet Max, we help you set realistic milestones that align with your lifestyle, making the journey enjoyable and sustainable.
2. Create a Plan, Not Just a Resolution
A resolution without a plan is just a wish. Outline how you’ll achieve your goals. Will you meal prep on Sundays? Join a fitness program? Commit to morning workouts?
If you’re unsure where to start, we’ve got you covered! Our 6-Week Summer Shred, starting on 6 January, is designed to give you structure, motivation, and measurable results. Let us handle the plan while you focus on showing up!
3. Visualize Success and Anticipate Challenges
Imagine how you’ll feel once you hit your goals—stronger, healthier, and more confident. Visualization is a powerful tool for staying motivated.
However, it’s also important to anticipate challenges. There will be days when motivation wanes or life gets busy. Instead of being derailed, think of these moments as opportunities to strengthen your resolve. Our Planet Max coaches are here to support and guide you when the going gets tough.
4. Build a Support System
Accountability is key! Surround yourself with people who encourage your journey, whether that’s friends, family, or a community of like-minded individuals.
When you join Planet Max, you’re not just signing up for workouts—you’re joining a team. Our experienced coaches will work with you to create a personalized plan, and you’ll be surrounded by others striving for their best selves.
5. Celebrate the Small Wins
Progress isn’t always about big leaps—it’s often the small, consistent victories that matter most. Celebrate when you show up for a workout, hit a water intake goal, or cook a healthy meal.
The 6-Week Summer Shred is perfect for seeing real progress in a short time, giving you plenty of wins to celebrate along the way.
6. Remember Your Why
Why did you set these goals in the first place? Maybe it’s to feel more energetic, set a good example for your kids, or simply to feel more confident in your own skin. Revisit your “why” often—it’s your anchor on the days when motivation feels low.
