MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) – A new year means new resolutions, and one of the more common resolutions is getting fit and going to the gym.

Losing weight and getting fit sounds easy, but both are difficult tasks to complete. 

That’s why many people end up not following through with their resolutions just weeks after making them.

A local personal trainer says going to the gym is not the only thing you should do. 

He says that watching what you eat is a good step on top of regular physical exercise.

“The main thing is thinking about your health being more healthy is a big thing around in. Just trying to come in try to work on being healthy and trying to get back into it. Get back to the groove. The main thing is being consistent. Consistency is key. As long as you’re coming to the gym and just doing what you need to do to try to reach your goals consistently will get you there,” said Personal Trainer Manager at Club4 Fitness Tevin Roberts.

Roberts also says to have smaller goals put in place so you can see gradual changes in your health and fitness journey.

“Never be embarrassed. You know what you’re trying to do when you come to the gym. Make sure you keep your goal in mind. Make sure you are know what you’re doing when you come to the gym. So keep that in mind and focus on what you’re trying to accomplish. Worry about no one around you,” said Roberts.
