#291: Setting Realistic New Year Fitness Resolutions

Sarah and Dimity unite to talk with Coach MK Fleming of the Train Like a Mother Club, and the trio jumps into a straight-talk discussion about setting realistic New Year resolutions. Realize why picking one big goal actually adds up to 1,000s of little tasks, and learn to not conflate optimism + attitude with progress. (Like we said: straight talk!) Numerous analogies to mastering a foreign language or to learning to play the piano abound. Coach MK talks about how to be smart in the goals you pursue, and she shares three small daily changes you need to embrace to meet your goals. Find out why Dimity feels “unbreakable” right now—and what her secret goal is. (And why 2022 might be a big year ‘round AMR parts…) A great reminder toward end of the episode: Enjoy the real joy in the journey.This week’s Nuun-drinking game: Take a swig every time Coach MK mentions the self-defense system of krav maga.Talk of resolutions starts at 19:40.To enjoy a free month of Bark Box with order of a 6- or 12-month subscription, visit barkbox.com/AMRFor $20 off, visit Storyworth.com/AMR when you subscribe.Get 25% off your first order of RXBar Kids at RXbar.com/amr and use promo code AMRTo see if you qualify, get your free quote today at healthiq.com/AMR or mention promo code AMR (or Another Mother Runner) when you talk to a Health IQ agent.
