Have you ever set fitness goals at the start of the year, only to find that life keeps getting in the way?
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: it’s never too late to get back on track. Whether new to strength training or returning after a break, the key to success is consistency. You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment— just start now, and you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve.
Here are some tips for remaining consistent and achieving your health goals in 2025:
1. Your New Year’s Resolution Doesn’t Have to Start in January
While you’re probably reading this in January and have set some lofty New Year’s goals for yourself, you might not be able to start training right now. But don’t throw that motivation away. You can start whenever it suits you. Life doesn’t always follow a calendar, and health is a long-term commitment. The key is to begin training when you can and stay consistent—at a pace that suits you.
2. Consistency Is Key — Even Active Days Count
Strength training is all about consistency. But you don’t need to train every day. At Kieser, our training method will help you achieve great results in just two 30-minute sessions per week.
Our approach to strength training is simple, safe, and effective regardless of age, condition or training experience, so it fits easily into your life. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see or feel results. We help you build strength to enjoy a better quality of life. If you're not training yet (you know, life and all), there are plenty of other ways to stay active and keep moving until you do:
-
Beach/park walks
-
Cycling
-
Gardening
-
Tennis or golf
-
Swimming
Every bit of movement helps you stay on track toward your health goals, and it’s important to find activities you enjoy so you stay motivated.
3. Remember your ‘Why’ — It Will Keep You on Track
We encourage our clients to remember why they started their fitness journey. Whether it’s to reduce pain or improve your health, your ‘why’ will keep you motivated. Whenever you feel like skipping a session or are questioning your progress, revisit your reason for strength training.
Write down your ‘why’ and keep it visible, like a note on your fridge or a reminder on your phone. Sharing it with friends or your Kieser team can also help keep you accountable and remain motivated, even when life gets busy.
4. No Pressure — Progress Is Progress
It’s easy to fall off the wagon with your training if things don’t go perfectly or you miss a session. Remember, progress is very rarely immediate.
Every session you complete brings you one step closer to your goals. Even if you need to adjust your goals along the way, it’s all part of the journey. Whether setting new personal records or simply staying consistent, you’re making progress toward improving your health.
5. Create a Training Routine That Works for You
Consistency is easier to maintain when training becomes a habit. Start by finding a routine that suits your lifestyle. Whether it’s a mid-morning session or after work, make your training a non-negotiable part of your week. If you're on holiday in another location, don't forget you can train at any Kieser clinic. It’s always fun to see new places and try something new.
Remember, the best time to start is now. Whether you’re beginning strength training for the first time or returning after a break, consistency and staying active will help you achieve your health goals.
