With the new year approaching, it is no secret that many of us want to improve out health and fitness as one of our new years resolutions. Here are a few tips to get you of a path of success!!

1. It’s not all or nothing. Follow the 80/20 Rule!

Many times when we start a fitness related goal we think that we need to completely change our eating and exercising habits overnight and become “perfect” from day 1. If you want to become successful reaching your new years goals, follow the 80/20 rule. This means 80% of the time you are really….really good! You eat healthy and hit your workouts and 20% of the time you can relax , have fun and not worry about your fitness goals. This will keep you on track for the new year and make sure you hit your goals without getting “Burned Out.”

2. Get Adventurous

Try new activities every week to avoid boredom. Get outside and go; biking, hiking, swimming, rock climbing, or skiing. Get a gym membership and involve yourself is group training classes and personal training. Just try new things to mix it up.

3. Opt for Vegetables

Vegetables are very low calorie and provide us with a lot of healthy nutrients and fiber. Due to the low calorie content of vegetables, you can almost eat as much of them as you want with no worries of exceeding your calorie intake. So when you are headed to the fridge or need a snack choose vegetables and you will also find great results.

4. Find an Exercise Buddy

Studies show that individuals that attempt a fitness goal with a partner are more successful. So pick a partner that has similar goals to you and get it done! Reward yourselves frequently for hitting smaller goals and don’t let each other down.

5. Simplify and Breathe

Simplify your life and feel the stress that’s reduced when you do so. A great message we can all live by this time of the year. Also…take time out of your schedule to have some quiet time and breathe. This will help decrease stress, and enhance clarity and serenity in your life.

The Sports Academy, a fitness club in Logan, Utah, first began offering a comprehensive Corporate Wellness Plan in 2006 and currently has more than 100 companies enrolled.

Riley Wimberly, V.P. Human Resources from D.L.V. Thiokol/ATK, said his employees have been enrolled in the Sports Academy’s Corporate Wellness program for four years. He said he has seen an increase in employee effectiveness through involvement in the program.

“Thiokol Defense and launch vehicles division encourages employee participation in physical fitness activities because we believe that there is a positive correlation between physical health and mental health. A healthy employee will be a more effective employee. Therefore we subsidize employee memberships to selected health clubs,” Wimberly said.

Daily exercise contributes to the prevention and lowering of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and heart disease. An active lifestyle also helps release tension and stress and minimizes medical costs for illness, prescriptions and sports related injuries.

When companies enroll in the Sports Academy’s Corporate Wellness Program, each employee receives a fitness evaluation and orientation, access to nutrition and fitness seminars and monthly tracking and fitness challenges, all facilitated by the Academy’s qualified and professional staff. Employees have full access to the Sports Academies group fitness classes, fitness equipment, pool and spa, basketball, racquetball and tennis courts and other academies for improved health.

Employees aren’t the only one’s who benefit from a Corporate Wellness Program. Employers also see the benefits qualifying for health insurance discounts and decreasing the amount paid for employee sick leave because of improved health. Corporate Wellness Plans also exemplify a concerned management, which improves employee loyalty.

Wes Archibald, Sports Academy membership manager, said Corporate Wellness Plans benefit both the employee and employer of a participating company. 

“Healthy employees equal happy employees,” Archibald said. “By enrolling in a Corporate Wellness Plan, employees will relieve stress through daily exercise and minimize medical costs from improved health and prevention of life-threatening diseases. These factors will result in more productive, creative employees that will improve your company. Wellness plans work.”

The Sports Academy & Racquet Club is a family health club whose mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and contribute to the betterment of the community by helping young people acquire a positive self-esteem through the development and advancement to a competitive level, increasing the physical and emotional well-being of individuals through an improvement of health, offering an opportunity for family recreation and providing a full-fitness facility for the benefit of the community and the improvement of the lives of its people.
