Get trainer Eric Jordon’s 30-day easy workout challenge

t’ll be Jan. 1 before you know it, and guess what? You’re going to post that same old Facebook status on New Year’s Day like you always do (“2017 is MY year! No more games!”) and make that mental checklist to start eating better and get (back) in shape. The beginning of the year is when gym membership spikes – but also drop off, because people never get in the habit of eating and exercising regularly.

So why not get in the habit before the New Year? We asked Eric Jordon, a personal trainer who operates EnerJFitness, or advice on starting a routine before that big holiday meal.

EXERCISE RIGHT

Simple exercises can help you ease into a workout routine without joining a gym right away, and get your body used to physical activity. Eric Jordon’s 30-day challenge adds small increments to each workout. “It takes 30 days to make something a habit,” he says, “so keep going!”
