#1 Plan Ahead

If you think about it, fitness is quite predictable, especially if you have a specific action plan.Before you rush into doing the things to improve physically and mentally, you have to, well, know what you’re doing! Think about the results you want to achieve during your fitness resolutions this year and build your plan accordingly.

This could entail optimization of physical activity and nutrition so if you are a newbie your best bet is to hire a professional personal trainer/coach/nutritionist, who can help you figure out what’s best for YOU.

In the fitness world, it’s all about quality over quantity. If you plan on achieving fitness goals (and a great physique) during the next year, your nutrition should be of top priority. You need to know which foods are going to help you most and which to avoid.  

There is a lot of theories (good and bad)  regarding healthy nutrition. If we had to get it down to a couple of bullet points, here’s how it would look:
