Setting achievable fitness goals can be confusing and stressful. Instead of getting yourself stressed out, try something different this year. Instead of worrying about the way you look, focus on your habits. If you just wish to look different or lose weight, you’re a lot less likely to get anywhere. Instead, set health and fitness goals that are actionable. For example, set a goal like training for a specific event, which has much more contention behind it than looking good in a bikini. It’s much more likely you’ll reach a specific goal. Try some of these to get you started.

Commit To Movement Every Day
It doesn’t matter what kind of movement you choose, but moving your body will improve both your physical and mental health. It will also support any fitness and body goals that you might have.
Exercising on a regular basis will improve your memory, focus, and learning abilities, as it increases your brain plasticity. It can also improve a lot of processes linked to better health. Exercise is so powerful that running for just fifteen minutes a day or walking for an hour can make you feel much happier and help you to sleep a lot better too. Whatever goals you set, this routine is important to your health and happiness.

Get 7-8 Hours of Sleep Every Night
Short and long-term deprivation and poor quality sleep can lead to a lot of different negative health outcomes. There is a lot of different peer-reviewed research that supports this well-known fact. Better sleep will help you to reach your workout goals and give you more energy.
Stretch To Improve Flexibility
Stretching after doing any physical activity is important, especially after high-intensity or high-impact activities. Being flexible can also help to support your overall exercise goals and keep you in good shape as you get older.
Drink More Water
We’ve all heard this tip many times, but it is an important one. On average, our bodies are 60% water at any given time. A lot of us don’t drink enough water, drink water that is missing any minerals and nutrients, or relace their water with caffeinated or sugary drinks instead, which is not healthy for us.
Stay properly hydrated is important to make sure that every process in your body is working as well it can. Not drinking enough water can slow down your metabolism and stall weight loss. You might also mistake feeling thirsty for being hungry, which can cause weight gain. You will also feel sluggish, perform poorly at the gym, have dry and dull skin, and even experience some gastro issues.
