Three Podcasts For Successful Health Resolutions In 2012

Monday, 02 January 2012 11:31

New Years Eve 2011 LondonIt is that time of year again – time for people to make New Year’s Resolutions. Most will resolve to become happier and more productive in the coming year. But for many, New Year’s resolutions end up becoming "health resolutions".

At this time of year, you will often hear the refrain of "I am going to lose a little weight” or “I am going to eat healthier”. I am sure we've all made resolutions along those lines, and I am sure that many of us have failed in our attempts.

Many times, we are unsuccessful with our resolutions because of the strategies we use to accomplish our goals. The problem can lie in using the same unsuccessful approach year in and year out. As they say, “if you do what you’ve done, you will get what you’ve got”.

With that in mind, here are three interviews from “Consumer’s Guide To Health” that will help. They examine health resolutions and the basics of both fitness and nutrition. Make 2012 the year when you set reasonable goals and put effective strategies into place to make them a reality.

Health Resolutions – interview with Dr. Christine Yarosh, Austin therapist with 24years of experience. Christine has a PhD in clinical psychology, and her primary area of interest is the mind-body connection. Her approach to psychology is to give people the skills to slow down and learn to pay attention to what their mind is doing and ultimately re-write the story they have about themselves.

Nutrition 101 – interview with Meredith Terranova, an Austin sports nutritionist and ultrarunner. Meredith has been helping her clients reach their nutritional goals for 8 years.  Meredith's clients have goals ranging from losing weight to completing Ironman triathlons with the right nutritional strategy. Meredith received her Bachelors in Human Nutrition and Consumer Science from the University of Houston in 1997, followed by her Dietetic Internship from UH in 1998. Her website is eatingandlivinghealthy.com.

Fitness: A Beginner’s Guide – interview with Robin Warnken, Austin personal trainer and massage therapist with over 15 years of experience. Robin creates individualized fitness programs for a broad range of clients, and provides them with the tools to do so safely and effectively. Robin is the owner of Austin Sports Massage And Fitness. Her website is austinsportrx.com.
