New Year, New You, New Routine With Skechers (Win!)

January 10, 2024

Are you ready to make this your year and take control of your health and fitness? The start of a new year is always a great opportunity to reflect and set some goals for the year ahead. If you’re anything like us, you’ve had some ideas in mind for a few months—we all want to get healthier right? That’s where Skechers‘ six keys to success come into play to help enforce accountability. Below, you’ll find helpful tips and tricks to get started on your best year yet to help ensure you live a long, healthy, happy life! —Vita Daily

  1. Set Realistic Goals & Start Small: If you never workout, don’t start with a goal that involves working out 6 days a week. Instead, set a smaller, more attainable goal that won’t overwhelm you.
  2. Focus on Daily Habits Rather Than End Results: Big, ambitious goals are accomplished through small daily habits. Instead of setting resolutions that are focused on the distant end goal, focus on the consistent steps needed to get there.
  3. Take Up a New Hobby: Selecting a sport that matches the amount of exercise you would like to do is vital – many kinds of sports offer different degrees of exercise.
  4. Find an Accountability Buddy or Join a Group: Surrounding yourself with people working towards similar goals will help keep you motivated and disciplined.
  5. Dress for Success: Stepping into the gym isn’t just about breaking a sweat; it’s a statement of your commitment to a healthier you. Your choice of gym clothes can make that statement louder and clearer, elevating your workout experience to new heights. See our top picks from Skechers below.
  6. Reward Your Small Accomplishments: Keep yourself motivated to achieve your New Year’s fitness resolution by deciding on a reward for small accomplishments along the way, such as a new pair of sneakers, athletic gear, or a massage.

Whether you’re planning on picking up a new sport this year, upping your fitness attire, or rewarding yourself (or a loved one!), we’ve rounded up our top picks from Skechers below to keep the motivation going all year long:

    Ahhh this would be epic!! I need some new shoes real bad! My health and fitness goal for 2024 is to strive for being continuous rather than consistent, as I’ll get further! I want to be consistent, don’t get me wrong. I just want to stop letting a day where life gets in the way to discourage me from continuing because I wasn’t “perfect” and missed a day. More specific goals would be eating better / cleaner, and moving my body more.
