The new year is coming up...We will take resolutions that will involve going to the gym at least 3 times a week. We want to lose the holiday weight and focus on health because this year is going to be different and you will make it yours!
About two weeks into the resolution, work starts to pile up and when you really think about it, you decide that you don't need to go 3 times. I mean, c'mon...you are trying to stay healthy, not turn into Channing Tatum. After thinking about it, twice a week makes more sense.
By the end of January, work has already reached sky high. You are running around the office putting out fires and working to make sure that things run smoothly. Between juggling work, family, and some kind of a social life, who has time for gym. Any ways, the membership has expired and you really don't have time to get it renewed.
As February 14th starts to roll around, the shame comes rushing back. You sit and question yourself about your lack of dedication when it comes to being healthy and looking good. You berate your inability to stick to this particular resolution every single year. You cannot understand why it is so hard to JUST GO TO THE GYM?!
Relax...Take a deep breath...
The reason it is so hard is that you don't have motivation to stick to it. Your brain is not helping you. This can be solved by YOGA!!! The study below states that Yoga actually helps to stick with the health oriented program by actually giving you ability to adhere to the program you have designed for yourself. Just two classes a week for ten weeks are all it takes. So, you basically feel amazing doing yoga twice a week for ten weeks and after that, if you still want you can do yoga or start gym with the knowledge that you will be sticking with your resolution this year!!!!
