2021 is the year to turn things around. We’ve come through a pandemic and life has been shaken up, a whole lot. It’s not over yet, but we have worked as a community to keep each other safe and now it’s time to look after ourselves a little more.
Many of us have gained extra padding over 2020 and the start of the New Year is a great chance to reverse the trend.
New Year’s Resolutions such as “Do more exercise”, “Lose weight” and “Drink less”, are often quickly forgotten but they usually come from a place of insight.
This year, make resolutions to improve your health and follow them through with actual plans and a commitment to yourself and your family to make them work. As a team you’re more likely to be successful, so get everyone on board and feel great while you all improve your health.
If you’re wanting to start running, we have exercise physiologists and targeted running coaches locally to guide you or try the Couch to 5K app. Sign up for the EQHC Stanwell Park Ocean swim in March and get swimming. Need the social connection you’ve missed out on in 2020? Start a regular exercise class or join a sporting team. The options are limitless, explore them now, before you turn the page.
The best dietary advice is from a dietitian, they know what carbs, proteins, fats and fibre are all about and which ones are your best options.
Having trouble making sense of where everything fits or how to get motivated? Have your mental health reviewed by your GP or psychologist. The year is here for you to plan and make the most of yourself.
At Equilibrium Healthcare our focus on health promotion helps to make those New Year’s resolutions a reality. In 2021, we will launch Équipe Life, our lifestyle and weight-loss program using a full team of medical, nursing and allied health professionals to personally tailor a lifestyle program that works for you, for the long term.
We start off with a full health assessment and allocate you to a small group to kick-start a year of good health, with a one-on-one follow-up with our psychologist, exercise physiologist and dietitian helping navigate your way. It’s going to be a great year. If you need help, we will guide your way.
