With the beginning of each
New Year, often comes the hope
of a better tomorrow. Lists of
resolutions to obtain that better
tomorrow are scribbled out and
near the top of almost every-
one’s list is the promise to lose
weight and eat healthy.
Those are noble causes
indeed, but unfortunately, are
not always attained. David
Ozmore, Chief Operations
Officer of the Cleveland County
Family YMCA and Director of
the KM Family YMCA, said that
they typically see their biggest
rush in memberships from
December 15 through March 1
of every year. “We probably sell
50% of our total annual mem-
bership in this three-month
period,” he said.
But why does the sudden
urge for fitness only hit people
around this time of the year?
“YMCA of the USA has done a
tremendous amount of research
on the New Year's resolution
phenomenon,” he said.
“Typically, over 60% of the new
exercisers will drop-out within
six months. The problem is that
they approach exercise as a
chore, as work. They do not
equate exercise with fun or with
emotion.”
Stepping out of the mindset
that one should punish one’s
self for being naughty over the
colder months and letting those
pounds pile on, may be the key
to prolonged fitness. “Exercise
is hard work and the only true
way to reach your fitness goals
is through a consistent regimen
of exercise (burning calories)
and a balanced diet (caloric
intake),” Ozmore said. “Our job
is to work with people, not only
on the physiological aspects of
body fat percentage, body mass
index, weight loss, etc., but to
work with people psychologi-
cally. When individuals exer-
cise, your mood improves.
When you exercise you are hap-
pier and more productive. We
need to constantly remind peo-
ple that it is the exercise that
causes this. Not to mention you
are more energetic at work, at
home, at play.”
The reasons for staying on the
healthy “straight and narrow”
are plentiful. But there are also
many reasons that sway people
off of the beaten path. “The
biggest reason we hear for quit-
ting is ‘I don’t have time,” he
said. However, “the investment
in exercise produces a more effi-
Page 5
cient lifestyle because of the
increase in productivity. It leads
to better sleep patterns, more
rest, more productivity at work,
etc. If you are exercising regu-
larly, you will have more time.”
With all excuses out of the
way, Ozmore offers these tips to
help you obtain those resolu-
tions for a healthier you:
v' “Moderation — exercise 4-5
times per week, not everyday.”
v' “Seek advice from a profes-
sional,” which he said is “free at
the YMCA.”
vv “Make short-term (realistic)
goals, for example, eliminating
soda, reducing the amount of
sugar in your diet, etc. Long-
term goals will happen if you
stay focused on the short-term
goals. You can’t lose 45 pounds
in one month.”
v “Recruit a partner to take the
journey with you.”
¢v' “Remember that you are
seeking a lifestyle change. This
will be hard work. This requires
consistency. There is no finish
line, just a healthy lifestyle.”
v Last of all, try to make exer-
cise fun, something you'll want
to do and not just feel like you
have to do.
