After the festive period, some of us may enter the New Year with โnew year, new fitness goalsโ or some of us might brave it for the very first time!
To help you reach your New Year goals, Sony has compiled some of their best products to help you along that journey.
Whether itโs releasing endorphins dancing alongside the SRS-XB33 speaker, getting back into running accompanied by the WF-SP800N in-ear headphones, or vlogging your progress on the ZV-1 camera, thereโs plenty of ways to stay motivated this January.
In partnership with Sony, popular fitness influencer, Ellie Hoad has compiled her top five tips for beginners who might need a little extra motivation come 2021.
Fitness influencer and Womenโs Online Coach Ellie Hoad says โ
- Donโt expect results overnight. Progress takes time and you need to be consistent with what youโre doing. When you feel like giving up, thatโs when you need to keep going!
- Do what you enjoy! Forcing yourself to do something every day is only going to lead to resentment and failure. Focus on the things which you look forward to. That way it wonโt feel like a chore.
- Donโt focus on the scales, the number is irrelevant. Instead, focus on how much stronger you are, how you look and most importantly how you feel.
- Set mini goals and focus on small wins rather than the end goal.
- Fitness is your own journey, donโt compare yourself to others. There is no comparison between the sun and the moon.
