It’s #NewYearNewMe time. Practically everyone has resolutions—even the supermodels (Kate Upton wants to start a journal; Cindy Crawford wants to take more beach walks). While writing down the day’s highs and lows and strolling seaside sound pleasant, the tough-love kind of goals can be downright difficult to keep (Give up chocolate? Hells no!) But we hear you: You want to be toned so you can rock spring’s crop-top trend, and we will make sure you can do so.
“Resolutions, as far as I’m concerned, fail,” says Eva Redpath, founder of Body Conditioning by Dancers and Nike Master Trainer. “We’re super committed to them, we’re hot and heavy with them, and we’re doing them for a short amount of committed time. In order to achieve what you want, you should make a lifestyle change, and that takes time.” And if your NYR list is a page long, she suggests you lighten up. “Choose one particular thing you want to work on. I wouldn’t recommend you try to quit smoking, lose weight, drink more water, go to the gym five times a week—all of that is extremely overwhelming and in my experience doesn’t work.” Once you’ve chosen a specific goal, “Set little miniature goals, so it’s like a ladder. Take one step at a time,” says Redpath. For instance, in the first week, try one new workout class and in the second week, try two.
So we challenge you, devout readers, to make one—only one!—fitness goal. Whether you’re looking to boost your mood or shape your butt, we have a plan for you. Garner inspiration from our 30 days of workouts, just make sure to build in rest days for muscle recovery. And, go!
Each week, we’ll be revealing a new set of workouts to try, including everything from hard-core CrossFit regimens to a 15-minute perk up. The best part? Each Thursday, we’ll be throwing it back to some of our favourite workouts from the past. Jane Fonda, here we come!
