The new year has arrived. For many, it’s a time for resolutions. The resolution that consistently ranks number one is exercise or physical activity. Sustaining a better workout routine is associated with mental and physical health benefits. This is why many people choose to start the new year with a resolution. Moving more for better health.
When it comes to resolutions in general, people tend to struggle to stick to their exercise goals. In a study, more than 50% reported being physically inactive after the first month of setting an exercise goal.
At BOOSTClubs, we approach things differently. We ensure that the goals you set aren’t just about exercising and losing weight. We also focus on the underlying story. What are your motivations? What does your daily life look like, both at home and at work? By addressing these factors, you can make a difference and achieve results.
To illustrate what it means for people to intrinsically sustain exercise and weight loss goals, let’s take a look at Bart Verouden’s success story.
“I used to be very slim and could eat whatever I wanted. However, like many others, this changed in my twenties. Though I never considered myself overweight, there was undoubtedly a bit of a belly developing. Seeing myself in photos often left me unhappy, and taking off my shirt in front of friends, for example, to go swimming, was very difficult.
Then, after a period of stress, I gained another 3 kilos, reaching a new record. I stood in front of the mirror and didn’t recognize myself. This isn’t me. Enough was enough; I had to do something. During my college years, I went to the gym a few times, but I found it extremely boring and never stuck with it for more than a few sessions. So, I knew I needed help; someone to keep me accountable.
I found this support at BOOST, specifically with Mandy. The intake process was much more than I expected, very personal and comprehensive. We not only made concrete goals but also looked at the underlying motivation. This personalized approach continued during the training sessions, which I found incredibly valuable. We got to work. Of course, there was training, and Mandy always pushed me a little further. But there was also nutrition. She regularly checked in on my calorie intake at home and at the office, offering useful tips on how to manage it.
After four months, I achieved the goal I set for myself: losing 10 kilos. But I found much more than that: thanks to muscle development, I look much better, and my self-confidence has greatly increased. But perhaps even more importantly, I’ve learned how enjoyable it is to achieve results through exercise and healthy eating. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
