Fitness Resolutions Can Derail in January: David Berger Gives Advice for Maintaining Commitment
Wilmington, Delaware (PRWEB) January 19, 2008 -- It's only mid-January, but most Americans who envisioned a healthier 2008 are already struggling to keep their New Year's resolutions to get into or stay in shape. Luckily, Healthy Weight Week, which begins on January 20, comes just in time to motivate those who are tempted to slack and provides an extra incentive to commit to shedding a few pounds. Fitness guru David Berger offers advice for this critical period.
Berger, a personal performance coach, stresses keeping a positive attitude toward a fitness routine. "Most people simply give up on their resolutions, but the darkest hour often comes just before the dawn," he says. Commitment, he adds, is the first of the four values highlighted in his own Number One Me? personal coaching fitness DVD. (More information about the four values is available at www.numberoneme.com/valuestraining.pdf.) "Commitment is key to overcoming obstacles to reaching any goal. To restore your commitment, remind yourself about the reasons you originally resolved to get in shape and how much you're going to enjoy the outcome. Focus on those things when you're trying to get over a hurdle."
It's hard work to maintain this kind of commitment, but consistency can help. "When you make the effort every day to be consistent in your workout plan, you'll find that it becomes not only easier, but something you actually look forward to," Berger says. "In fact, you'll probably want to progress to even higher levels of fitness because you'll feel great!"
Of course, enthusiastic support also makes it easier to reach a goal, and a program like that on Berger's Number One Me DVD, which offers more than 45 body-weight-only progressive exercises at three levels, served with high-energy motivation, easily fits the bill for those who don't have access to personal trainers.

He also started performing calisthenic exercises. Through his commitment to his consistent and progressive approach, he lost over 88 pounds and 6 inches from his waist within one year!
