The New Year is typically a time when many of us evaluate our life choices.
New Year’s resolutions are made, important lifestyle changes are incorporated into daily routines (for a few weeks anyhow), diaries are bought and, more often than not, left unfilled. Perhaps 2025 is the year to stop procrastinating, stick to your plans – buy that diary, allocate “you” time every day.
There are so many small adjustments we can all make to our lifestyles to make us feel good about ourselves; we just need to focus and be committed that we will see our plans through to the end of this year at least. Start with one small change and if you feel like you’ve got the hang of it, pick up another. There’s no limit to how many positive changes you can make in life, but you have to start somewhere!
With so many services locally available, it has never been easier to make a new year resolution and keep with it. The advertisers on these pages offering their services believe that they can help you attain the goals that you set your mind to. You got this!
CJ SCALLY
Mullingar Personal Trainer CJ Scally has been in the fitness game since qualifying from the University of Limerick in 2013. His new book Your 8-week Plan has everything needed to kick off a healthy 2025.
“We have all enjoyed our Christmas break, now it’s time to get back to it,” he said. “After all, your health is the greatest investment you will ever make.”
Included in Your 8-week Plan are high protein recipes, shopping lists and nutritional information, as well as workouts and other helpful tips.
“Many people will hit the cardio machines only, this is beneficial but not the most effective way to reduce body fat. Let’s think of it more as a lifestyle change and bring in a good healthy diet and resistance training too. Go to the gym with confidence, knowing you have a plan.”
Your 8-week Plan is available at Just Books and Nuts and Grains, Mullingar at €19.99.
