With more than 170 locations in North America, Life Time can help you achieve
your health and wellness goals in 2024 and beyond
CHANHASSEN, Minn., Jan. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- January
17th is National Ditch Your Resolutions Day, a
day where many people start to ditch their New Year's goals and
resolutions. Life Time (NYSE: LTH), is here to help kickstart and
recalibrate those who may be feeling some burdens as we get into
2024.
According to Life Time's recent national wellness survey of
3,000 people across the country, nearly two-thirds (65%) of
respondents said they will prioritize their health and wellbeing
more in 2024 than in 2023 – a 29% increase from the year prior. The
top reason cited is to be able to keep doing things they love for
as long as possible. More people are focusing on being able to live
longer, healthier lives (51%), versus simply looking better
(9%).
"People should define the motivation behind their goals and
focus on that when the going gets tough. Then, implement one
positive and specific habit or action they can take toward your
goal, says Danny King, Manager of
Performance and Recovery for Life Time. "Taking this approach lets
you track your progress and see progress a much more attainable
rate."
Millions of people set New Year's resolutions each year, but
most are destined to fail. A University of
Scranton study revealed that nearly 80% of people don't
stick to their resolutions. There's good reasoning for why
resolutions fail, and it's not due to a lack of willpower. New
Year's resolutions are often vague, too big and lack measurability
to keep people motivated and on track.
Here are five common mistakes people make with their resolutions
and how to refocus.
#1 – Setting resolutions that are too large and vague:
It's better to start small and with specific habits, rather than
trying to accomplish everything all at once.
#2 – Doing too much, too fast: You need to have hard and
easy workout days. Otherwise, you risk injury or burnout.
#3 – Planning for the best circumstances, not the worst:
We set goals when we're motivated and don't think about what to do
when we lose motivation. Come up with a game plan for when things
get tough and how you can re-focus.
#4 – Under-estimating how hard you can work: This
especially happens with strength training. Hiring a trainer or
taking part in a group fitness class can push you.
#5 – Having too much variety in your workouts: You need
some consistency to optimally challenge yourself.
Regardless of health and wellness goal or objective in 2024,
Life Time features more programs and services for those 90 days old
to 90 years old than any other – from strength training to Dynamic
Personal Training and Dynamic Stretch, to pickleball, tennis,
cycle, Pilates, yoga and small-and large-group training, and

classes, coaching and wellness content.
