As we take a look back on the year, some of us are contemplating what we can do differently to guarantee success regarding our fitness goals.

Here are some ideas to inspire you:

1. Sleep six hours each night at an absolute minimum. Shoot for seven or eight hours. Our body needs it for proper brain function, proper testosterone release and metabolic function.
2. Be more active most days of the week. If you are doing cardio three days a week, add a day or two of weight training. If there is no time, add more intensity or a few extra minutes to your cardio sessions.
3. Drink enough water. Water assures proper nutrient delivery to our working muscles as we become more active,
4. This is the most important tip: do something every day. By doing at least one thing that helps us improve our fitness level, eventually we will have the body we want.

What are your New Year's resolutions?
