Burn it with Breeze
New Year comes around and many of us vow to make drastic health-related lifestyle changes. It’s all ‘new year, new you’, in an ‘all or nothing’ manner. The trouble is, this usually involves giving something up (negative), instead of taking on a challenge or trying something new (positive).
And it’s a sad fact that 39% of New Year’s resolutions crumble in just two weeks. And the other 61% probably follow suit not long after.
Here are our tips for making some healthy changes to your lifestyle that make you feel better, and that are easier to stick to.
Let yourself off the hook. What’s wrong with the old you anyway? Rather than beating yourself up about how far you have to go, why not make a few improvements here and there, gradually changing your habits as you go? It’ll be much easier to stick to, and more likely to last, long-term.
Set yourself some goals, but make them realistic and achievable. Then break them down into mini milestones – setting yourself small targets on your road to an ultimate achievement is a great way to keep on track and stay motivated.
Getting fit doesn’t have to mean joining a gym. Cycling is a great way to get fresh air, meet new people – and best of all, there’s no joining fee or monthly subscription! Breeze bike rides are FREE – so why not get on your bike with us this year? Whether you’re a novice looking to get back on your bike after a lifetime off it, or a competent, frequent cyclist capable of cycling 30+ miles, there’s a ride for you.
Make friends along the way. Doing an activity or exercise with other people makes you much more likely to stick to it. So why not pair up with a family member, or a group of friends or workmates, and ride together? Breeze bike rides are famously friendly, so even if you’re on your own they’re a great way to meet new people and get a bit of support along the way. You can even bag yourself some fab free goodies for bringing a friend!
Remember, nothing is impossible… go for it!
