A healthy and happy New Year
MAKING resolutions on January 1 may have become something of a cliché but there’s something to be said for the dawning of a new year that signifies renewal and improving on what has gone before.
Resolutions may have become a double-edged sword, something to set with fervour as the new year arrives, but that proves to be too demanding, challenging or unrealistic, leaving a feeling of failure before the first month of the year is even over.
The desire to continue to learn, grow and develop as individuals is an intrinsic part of the human psyche and the new year stimulates focus on individual growth for the coming year.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, many have made lifestyle changes to focus on health and wellbeing as a priority. The pandemic brought home the importance of looking after ourselves, of working towards ensuring our bodies are as strong and resilient as they can be, with all the positive impact on mental wellbeing that brings.
With today’s busy lives, incorporating regular exercise can be challenging and is often a reason why those resolutions made at new year to become leaner and fitter, so often fall by the wayside before January is out.
The way to success is to set realistic targets and goals, to make those changes step by step and to celebrate each step towards a healthier life. Leisure at Cheltenham, operated by The Cheltenham Trust, is embracing that ethos throughout January with its new year, new goals programme.
The centre is offering packages this January to help improve your health and fitness; 50% discount on annual memberships, or a try out of the centre for £31 for 31 days.

Whatever your goals, why not set yourself a realistic target and begin your 2024 journey to a fitter, happier and healthier year?
