It is 2017 and now you need New Year Tips for Getting Fit! We want to share with you, our tips to be successful with everything you do.

Do you feel like every year you say the same thing? I am going to lose weight. I am going to quit smoking. I am going to do things different this year. But then you fail right out of the gate and then you just pick up with those old bad habits. Let’s look at some tasks to help you get on track.

New Year Tips for Getting Fit

1. Meal Prep – Meal prep is key to staying on track with your diet. Take a Sunday morning and cut up fruits and vegetables. Grill or bake up your proteins and toss with some red sauce for an easy grab and go protein option.

2. Work out where you can –  No gym membership?  There are plenty of places to work out. Go for a walk outside and get the blood pumping. Have a beach? Get out there and get moving. Find local folks to work out together outside.

4. Do a Salt Water Flush Monthly – Do you suffer from constipation?  Maybe you just don’t get enough fiber in your diet.  Feeling extremely bloated?  Try a Salt Water Flush for Constipation.  Sometimes called a Salt Water Cleanse or a Master Cleanse it’s designed to help you cleanse your colon and digestive system by bringing on a forced bowel movement.

5. Take time for yourself. Get some “me” time in and enjoy the fresh air. If you can be physically active outside even better. Take time to relax in your outdoor scenery. Be grateful for where you are in your life. Spend time with your spouse away from the kids. Have a young family? Take time away from electronics and enjoy the outdoors!

We hope you enjoy these quick tips, how do you stay on track?

    Meal prep is always keys. Cut up those veggies so they are handy. Will have to check into the saltwater and colon cleanse.

    I have to get more accustomed to doing meal preps on Sunday nights. It would help out for our family’s diets and also, I think they’re very budget-friendly!

  • Paula Schuck

    Thanks for sharing these tips. I’m very interested in trying that detox soup. It sounds tasty and super healthy.

  • Jeanette

    I am now going to the gym very regularly, but I still need to learn more about nutrition so that I can get my metabolism burning more. I will definitely keep everything you said here in mind.

  • Pam Wattenbarger

    Great tips for getting fit in the new year. I am trying to get in shape so I have been walking more and drinking more water.

  • DORIA

    Love this post! Meal planning is such a big part of staying healthy for our household, if we don’t plan ahead it’s far too easy to just grab anything. I wish it was warmer here in winter, but we still try to stay active, too 🙂

  • Alli Smith

    I need to do better with meal prep. I am exercising more – walked 5 miles today – and drinking more water. I’m also eating better.

  • Annemarie LeBlanc

    I love walking. That is the only exercise I do, and so far it has kept the weight off. I also try to eat small frequent meals. I don’t like skipping meals because it only makes me more hungry and that would make me binge on whatever food I get my hands on.

    No fitness tips here. I do find that meal prep helps save me time and money, particularly when it comes to my youngest who is on a gluten-free diet.

  • Jeanine

    I found that Sunday meal prep was so helpful! Instead of scrambling and throwing something together, it was all right there and easy so I didn’t deviate
