ROCKFORD (WREX) The New Year often brings a lot of people to the gym, but that dedication tends to fade after a few weeks.
Health professionals like Anytime Fitness Personal Trainer Eli Whipple believe that's due to setting too big of goals too early.
For example, he says that starting out with six workouts a week after not working out over a year is a recipe for failure. He suggests starting with three days a week so the body can adjust.
Ultimately, he believes that any and all long term health goals need to account for time.
"It's not a race," Whipple said. "A lot of people look at it that way, but we're trying to change your lifestyle. It's something that you're trying to change in the long run."
Whipple also recommends staying away from fad diets. He says making small changes before trying any rigorous diets like the Keto Diet.
