So, we’re well into February and well into the New Year’s resolutions training programme or are we not?

Most keen, active people like to set out new training goals each New Year and sure enough in most cases the training programme either becomes diluted or disappears completely from the hectic weekly lifestyle schedule.

Understandably, time is usually at the top of the tree for reasons why we cannot sustain the programme. So how do we find a solution for this?

1. Try getting to bed earlier so you can get up earlier. Most gyms are open at 6am if you are not a fan of training outside on dark mornings.

2. Schedule in three x one-hour training sessions of 'I must do' and time manage them into each week regardless. Have two other training sessions pencilled in the diary if time permits.

3. Book in with a personal trainer (PT) if you are not good with personal discipline or look for any excuse to cop out.

4. What is your goal?

Did you set yourself one? This is important, however small or big your challenge is.

5. Set out in writing what you need to achieve, say over the next three weeks, to keep you dialled into consistency.
