Have you ever charged into January with a list of resolutions as long as your arm, only to find yourself burnt out by February? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros unpack why starting the year at a sprint can leave you sprawled on the sidelines. They share stories from their fitness journeys, discussing the pitfalls of overzealous goal-setting and the virtue of pacing yourself–to help you set a sustainable pace for your personal and fitness resolutions. This conversation aims to guide listeners toward a more balanced and sustainable path to wellness and well-being with an approach that marries humility with ambition. Setting modest goals and building upon them underscores the potential for a more fulfilling and health-conscious life, free from the pitfalls of unrealistic expectations and unnecessary pressure.
