As we are rapidly moving our way through the year and heading into spring, it's important to take stock and reflect on the progress that we've made with our new year resolutions or targets that we may have set ourselves.

You may have had a couple of setbacks or things that haven't gone as well as you'd hoped but that’s human and it’s important to focus on what you HAVE achieved.

A great way to keep on track is having a reset and set yourself a challenge. There are so many different challenges that you can access, whether these are organised events or a personal challenge that you want to set for yourself.

That might be completing a virtual walking challenge, doing a certain amount of steps a day, eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day or reducing the amount of sweet food consumed during Lent.

A great challenge we completed in the past was walking the hilly Hadrian's Wall path (84 miles) over six days. We progressively built towards the challenge with our training by walking an extra mile each time we went out. Also, the challenge was set with a deadline. We knew that we had booked a date to complete the challenge so it gave us a focus to work towards.

Whatever your challenge is, make sure that it will motivate you to commit towards completing it and it has a clear focus that is manageable with your lifestyle. If you need support with your goals through fitness programmes or dietary advice, get in touch with us for extra support.
