Welcome to 2022.
A new year of possibilities and opportunities.
A new year of improving our mental health and wellbeing.
We all want to make some big changes in our lives and are completely excited about it... but sometimes, it's only a matter of time until some setback happens.
And some of us quit when it gets tough.
Do you ever wonder why some of our New Years Resolutions fail?
There are a few reasons.
In this post, we are going to cover 5 reasons why most people fail their New Years Resolutions.
Let's dive in!
For a primer to this post, you can watch our YouTube video on some reasons why most fail their New Years Resolutions below:
Some of us go too hard and too fast with our New Years Resolution goals.
We go on extreme diets that can be very difficult or very hard to sustain.
If you want to lose 15lbs, it's important to understand that if you want to make it sustainable, you need to make adjustments to your lifestyle that are sustainable.
Crash diets are not sustainable, and they're quite often a short-term solution for a problem you want to take care of for the long-term.
What we propose is simple: small steps will help you succeed. Here are some suggestions to start:
A third reason why some people fail their New Years Resolutions is that their goals are not specific enough.
Let's say we want to lose 15lbs in 3 months.
How will we get there?
What types of steps will monitor our progress?
What adjustments will we make if we don't make progress?
It's important to create an action plan on how to reach your goals. Think about the following:
Planning this out makes it much more clearer for you to reach your goals.
We can learn as much as we can about fitness stuff on the internet, but this knowledge is useless without implementation.
Implementation is super important because we get to see what actually works best for us.
What we propose here is to just do SOMETHING. Even if it's not perfect, that's ok. Your body needs to get used to exercise, eating certain foods, and more.
If you need help with something, don't hesitate to ask people in your gym or environment.
If you ever need workout or nutrition advice, head on over to our facebook group. We enjoy providing feedback or advice on exercise form.
We got your back!
Some of us will track progress on the scale, looking at a number that fluctuates based on stress, hormones, sodium intake, and more.
You NEED to track other factors that go BEYOND the scale.
What we propose is finding a few things to track that show you're making some progress. If you don't know what to expect yet, here are some you could pick that may help:
A 5th and final reason why most people fail their New Years Resolutions is that we don't have people or communities that hold us accountable to our success.
We need accountability partners who monitor our progress, like personal trainers, coaches, or even groups we can surround ourselves around.
These groups or coaches do not have to be local; they can be online groups or coaches as well.
As I mentioned previously, you can join our Facebook Group where we exercise our way out of depression. We love holding you all accountable in there!
As you can see, the reasons why most people fail are things that we have some amounts of control over.
One of the most important factors is adherence. If we can't stick to our diets, then there is something wrong.
Maybe the calories are too low or we eat too little.
Maybe we sleep poorly.
Maybe we hate the style of exercise that we are doing.
Maybe we don't have an accountability piece to our journey.
It is super important to know where you're deficient and focus on rectifying it.
I want to thank you for reading this post. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email us at support@reforgedperformance.com or message us on Instagram.
For the rest of the month we will focus on adherence and momentum, so stick around for future posts!
Until next time!

This is where supplements like magnesium glycinate can be helpful.
Magnesium glycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium that is easily absorbed by the body and has several potential health benefits.
In this post, we'll explore the benefits of magnesium glycinate and why it may be a valuable addition to your overall health and wellness plan.

Depression Slayer,
Have you asked yourself why most people fail their diets?
A lot of it comes from extremes: huge diet restrictions, following a fad diet that's not prescribed to your body, and more.
Many of us go too extreme to the point of so much discomfort, which makes us actually fail rather quickly.
Most of the time, people stop their diets within 5 weeks.
So today, I wanted to shift your mindset towards nutrition.
In this post, we are going to go over 5 nutrition principles for success.
Let's dive in!
