Did you make a resolution to get more fit this year?
Well, today is National Ditch Your Resolution Day.
So it's time to say goodbye to drastic change and see how you can settle
into some healthier habits that are actually sustainable here to help us do that.
We have Jeff Swi
Zweifel
from lifetime. He's a lifetime exercise physiologist and a wellness expert.
Also, we have Jim Laval,
an anti aging and longevity expert and also founder
and chairman of the Board of the Metabolic Code.
Gentlemen, thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for having us. Good to be here, Ellen. We want this change to last.
So we don't want people to keep ditching these resolutions.
How do we go about actually
finding a way to stay healthy and stick to it?
Well,
Ellen, it's important. You know, we're here in a lifetime right now.
We've got eight clubs in the DC market.
We're so committed to helping people live healthier, happier lives.
We wanna make sure they set realistic and
achievable goals and they understand that it's,
it, it can be difficult, it can be challenging,
but
it's about resetting and recalibrating those goals and staying committed,
getting started every day is a new day.
If you have some setbacks,
reset yourself and re-establish them into manageable and achievable chunks
and get moving.
We want people to get moving,
stay active and we know that that movement is contagious
and that will be the building blocks of you continue to have some success.
Um So we're,
we wanna help support people in those New Year's resolutions and keep them rolling.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
I know a lot of people are also interested in reversing the clock,
turning time back a little bit.
You have some science based fitness and weight loss alternatives. Right.
Absolutely. Well, what we've done is actually through the Mayora
program, which we just launched at lifetime.
We've created a comprehensive program, everything from lab assessments,
looking at biological age, looking at things like cortisol or stress hormone,
which could be driving your craving patterns for sugar and carbohydrates
along with designing diet plans and exercise plans specific
to an individual's needs and looking at things like,
you know, Biodent hormones,
IV therapies. What are the things that can really put you
in a position of having optimized health where you really feel good.
And more importantly, we track it,
we can show you the results
and I think that's one thing, no matter what you're going to do,
that's where the proof is, is
go and get a lab test,
make sure that what you're doing is actually helping you
and create those realistic goals to achieve it.
It's amazing all that's out there that we can do to track our health.
Uh I, I think when you hear that list, it's a little bit overwhelming.
Where do you recommend people start? How do you even begin?
Yeah, and no doubt,
you know, that it's a journey, not a destination. So we want people to get started
by two different ways. One
visit a lifetime.
You know, we're there as a community of like minded people get involved in a
support group.
You know, you might wanna engage a personal trainer,
one of our dynamic personal trainer,
team members to make sure you can
develop a really thoughtful and sound structured program
that is progressive.
Visit the lifetime dot life website to learn more and you can engage there
on virtual programming and digital programming solutions
or participate in one of our clubs.
Is that the way to stay motivated to?
You mentioned like the coaches, the club, how,
how do you recommend that we keep those resolutions?
Yeah. Well,
again, try to develop a plan, you know, a couple of days a week,
try to commit to being active,
try to build the duration and the frequency of your plan
week over week.
Just like anything else.
Developing a habit being consistent, find an activity that you love
and find a community of folks that will be your motivation,
your accountability and your support structure
perfect and you can also separate that hype out
from what things are actually gonna work for us.
Right?
Yeah,
you gotta watch any time that there's uh things
that seem a little over the top probably are.
So what you really want to do
is, you know, think about the basic foundational things that you can change today,
things that are realistic for you.
And then when you have questions about, hey, I heard this
now, try to find a professional that you can talk to
that you can vet that information against
and you know what, find a friend who also made a New Year's resolution
that they want a healthier lifestyle
and work together at
the very least you can do that.
Yeah, that's the great thing
about lifetime is if you're into sports, if you're into recreation,
if you're into just our anti aging program,
uh called Mior or Aurora, we have programs for everyone to try to participate in
something for everybody.
Thank you both um for all of this information and more you
can always head to Lifetime dot Life and great to Washington.
We'll be right back.
