And if you are a member of a gym, you will notice that first week of the year surge in people coming into work out and in less than a month, the gym traffic returns to normal with many returning to their previous lifestyle.

So, what separates the people that have been successful at losing weight from the ones that quickly return to old habits? Those that make a plan and layout their path for being successful. With the high stress, fast-paced lives that most of us lead, it is hard to wing it and actually accomplish the goals we set for ourselves.

Do you like printable planners? You simply print these sheets out and fill in the blanks creating a plan that will have you being healthier or more productive within a short time.

The third option that is really popular is a bullet journal. Bullet journals are defined as  a customizable and forgiving organization system. It can be your to-do list, sketchbook, notebook, and diary, but most likely, it will be all of the above. It will teach you to do more with less.

Here are some tips for what you should be able to include in your fitness planner or any other type of plan for that matter:

  • Identify your fitness goals and priorities, then figure out the action steps for breaking them down into a list of manageable tasks.
  • Be able to look at your month at a glance, so that you can look at the bigger picture and manage it realistically.
  • Be able to track your daily intake of water, nutrients and exercise.
  • Be able to meal plan and prepare a shopping list from the meal plan. Knowing what you are going to eat is key to being able to stay on track.
  • Become more purposeful with your fitness journey by eliminating overwhelm, getting all those details out of your head and into one place.
  • Reflect on what’s working and what’s not at the end of every month so you know if you need to make any changes to your fitness plan.
