Conquering your New Year’s Fitness Resolutions: Expert Guidance from Windsor’s True fitness
the new year frequently enough brings a wave of fitness resolutions. After the holiday indulgence, many Americans are eager to shed those extra pounds and jumpstart a healthier lifestyle.But where to begin? Luis Mendez, owner and operator of True Fitness Windsor, offers valuable insights into achieving those fitness goals.
Mendez emphasizes the importance of a solid nutritional foundation. “A lot of fruit, vegetables, lean meat, proteins, legumes, and those type of things,” he advises. “If individuals just started with the basics of cutting out processed foods, fried foods, eating out, they would see a tremendous amount of success and results over a duration of consistency.”
Easing Back into Exercise: Avoiding Injury
Returning to a workout routine after a break requires a strategic approach. Mendez cautions against jumping back into intense workouts immediately. “A lot of time individuals who get back into fitness start with the same routines that they finished off with,” he explains, “because we are creatures of habit, so we go back to the routines we were doing back then but our bodies are not necessarily in that state, so therefore, the risk of injury increases, but also the days of recovery become much painful and longer.” He recommends starting with bodyweight exercises to gradually rebuild strength and endurance.
Finding the Right Fitness Fit
With numerous gyms in Windsor, choosing the right one is crucial for long-term success. Mendez suggests taking advantage of trial periods. “Go in for a trial, whether it’s a three-day or a week trial, maybe even pay for a trial pass so that they can experience the atmosphere, they can experience the different services that they have,” he says. “As if they really find a place that they’re pleasant in, and really appeals to them, they will be more successful as they will be able to come and revisit that facility more frequently enough.”
