BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA For some of us, its never easy getting back in the gym after the holidays. While were used to feasting on holiday comfort foods, the beginning of the year is when the shift to become healthier kicks into gear.

Unfortunately, most people who begin the year with a fitness resolution fall off the wagon after a few weeks or months. But our Pro-Health & Fitness Center Exercise Specialist Katie Munn is here to lend a helping hand.

Here are her top five recommendations on how to maintain your New Years fitness resolutions for months to come.

Create a realistic plan to achieve your goals Its time to make your realistic and achievable plan for your realistic and achievable goals. Only you know what your body can and cannot do, so its important to stay practical and achievable in the workout routines that you choose. Its important to find out what drives you and what gives you that adrenaline rush. Its crucial to create an exciting and realistic fitness plan to reach your goals.

Track your progress It is important to track your fitness progress every step of the way. If you are not seeing progress, it is time to switch up the routine and try a different approach. Consider trying new cardio machines, take a new fitness class and outdoor activities youve always wanted to pursue. Get creative and choose a tracking method that will work for you. There are many different phone apps for tracking, daily fitness logs/journals, visual graphs and charts.

Reward yourself While its important to reward yourself after reaching important health milestones, it doesnt always have to be food-related. It can be new clothes, a well-deserved nap or a trip to the movies. You know what drives you to succeed, and your reward should not regress progress.

Surround yourself with a positive support system Its easy to get disappointed and feel like quitting, which is why having a support system is an important element on your health journey. Family and friends are often great resources for maintaining fitness resolutions. This isnt going to be a walk in the park, so having someone to lean on will help push you through emotionally and physically challenging days.

Listen to your body We all strive to be healthy, happy and fully satisfied when it comes to our bodies. It is extremely important to stay hydrated and maintain a well-balanced diet. The ability to listen to your body and being attentive to your vitamin, mineral and caloric intake will only enhance your fitness resolutions.
