Good intentions: 3 golden rules to get fit
Many good intentions fail because they are too ambitious or unrealistic. Think of going to the gym 5 times a week or going on a crash diet where you have to give up all your favorite foods. These kinds of plans are hard to stick to because they take a lot of time, energy and willpower. Moreover, we often forget that changing your lifestyle doesn’t happen overnight. The result? Frustration and a feeling of failure.
Efficient training with a compact treadmill
For those who lead busy lives, a compact treadmill is the solution. Not only does it fit in small spaces, but it also offers the opportunity to move without having to free up extra time. Take the Dreaver S340 , for example, a treadmill specially designed for people with a busy schedule. Use it during your lunch break, combine a phone call with a walk or walk while watching your favorite series.
Why a treadmill is ideal for busy people:
- You can exercise at any time of the day without having to leave the house
- Compact treadmills are easy to store, making them ideal for smaller homes
- You can multitask by, for example, walking during meetings or watching videos
This year we are doing things differently with 3 golden rules that will ensure that your New Year's resolutions really work. Instead of drastic changes, choose small, achievable adjustments that fit into your daily life. You don't need hours to get fit - it's all about efficiency and smart planning. This way you can really achieve your goals this year.
1. Smart planning without stress
With a busy schedule, exercising can sometimes feel like an extra chore. But what if you incorporated it into your daily routine? Here are some smart ideas:
Morning Routine : Start your day with a 10-minute walk on the treadmill. This will give you an energy boost without having to get up earlier.
During work : Use the treadmill during online meetings or while answering emails. Movement improves focus and increases your productivity.
After eating : Instead of immediately plopping down on the couch, run on the treadmill for 15 minutes. This helps with digestion and keeps you energized .
Weekend Moments : Schedule a longer 30-minute session on Saturday morning to start the week feeling fit.
2. Set achievable goals
One of the biggest reasons New Year’s resolutions work is by making them realistic and measurable. Replace vague goals like “I want to get fit” with specific goals like:
- “I want to walk 20 minutes three times a week.”
- “I want to take at least 1,000 steps during my lunch break.”
- “I want to average 7,000 steps per day by the end of the month.”
By linking your goals to small, concrete actions, you make them achievable and measurable. And every time you achieve a goal, you build motivation for the next step. Share your progress with us on Instagram @dreavernl . That way we keep each other accountable and motivated!
3. Consistency over intensity
It’s tempting to go all out right away, but consistency is more important than intensity. 15 minutes on the treadmill every day is more effective than an hour of exercise once a week. By making exercise a regular part of your day, you’ll build a habit that’s easier to maintain.
Why consistency works:
- It lowers the threshold to get started.
- Small steps create lasting results.
- Daily exercise improves both your physical and mental health.
Make a real impact this year
With a compact treadmill like the Dreaver S340, smart planning, and achievable goals, this is the year your New Year’s resolutions will work. You don’t have to choose between a busy schedule and a healthy lifestyle—they can go hand in hand.
