6 different beginner’s exercise classes in Athens | Culture – Red and Black

Out of the five most popular New Years resolutions set in 2020, three were fitness- and health-related, according to a survey conducted by international research data group YouGov: exercising more frequently took the top spot, while improving dietary habits and losing weights followed in third and fourth place.

Avoiding crashing-and-burning after the first month of sticking to a health-related goal can be difficult, but avoidable if one develops a solid plan, said Kaeti Shurling, a registered dietician in Athens.

You shouldnt rush something you want to last forever, Shurling said. You have to do something you want to do forever because thats whats going to lead to those lasting changes and its what is going to be doable.

Shurling recommends starting small and proving it to yourself that you can do it before taking on a rigid or extreme plan that can be difficult to maintain.
