2024 is the year to try something new with the Hussle guide<\/strong> to the latest fitness trends and the old favourites for the New Year.<\/p>\n

1. Set realistic goals<\/h2>\n

Goal-setting never grows old, but what if there are new ways to do it? Dig into behavioural science to ground your goals in research-backed methods that will propel you to even more success in 2024.\u00a0 Essential reading: ‘Setting realistic fitness goals for the New Year’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Fuel yourself properly<\/h2>\n

Make 2024 the year you use nutrition to fuel your body to lift more, run further, and recover better. Diet fads come and go but sensible nutrition never goes out of style. Starting your day with protein and fibre will help you hit your goals.\u00a0 Essential reading: ‘5 Great pre workout breakfast ideas’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Avoid fitness failures<\/h2>\n

It sucks to set goals and then fall off the wagon a few weeks later. Protect yourself from the pitfalls by identifying areas you need to focus on. Do you need more information, support, accountability, or do you just need to find somewhere new and exciting to work out?\u00a0 Essential reading:\u00a0 ‘7 Reasons why your fitness goals may fail’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Master the basics<\/h2>\n

Is 2024 the year you make fitness a priority? Exciting times! It can be super overwhelming to try and work out the best way to train in the gym. Don\u2019t overthink it, just focus on the basics like a good beginner workout and being consistent.\u00a0 Essential reading:\u00a0 ‘Gym workouts for beginners’<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.hussle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/AMENDED-Blog-Post-One.png” alt=”Hussle Gym” title_text=”One Network” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-37px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”568px” custom_margin=”-9px|auto|-216px|auto||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”744px” custom_margin=”||121px|||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

5. Work with a Personal Trainer<\/h2>\n

Investing in a personal trainer is a great way to get through a training plateau, work towards a specific goal, or simply learn how to train properly for your body. It doesn\u2019t have to be expensive, either. In fact you could save money by getting rid of the overthinking, second guessing and overwhelm that comes with training alone. Why not use Hussle and look for gyms near me with personal trainers?\u00a0 Essential reading: ‘Are personal trainers worth the money?<\/a>‘<\/p>\n

6. Get a fitness buddy<\/h2>\n

Getting fit is more fun with a friend! To make your 2024 fitness goals more enjoyable (and probably more successful), find a friend or family member who enjoys the same type of workouts. Arrange to meet for runs, sign up for the same classes, or head to the gym at the same time.<\/p>\n

7. Revisit a childhood sport<\/h2>\n

What kind of activity did you enjoy as a child? Why not go back to it in 2024. Most sports have taster sessions at local clubs. Take the plunge and book in, it might just ignite a passion you\u2019d forgotten about.<\/p>\n

8. Invest in a fitness tracker<\/h2>\n

Why not add a fitness tracker to your Christmas wishlist and start 2024 motivated by your own data? There are so many trackers on the market these days, from simple step and activity trackers to those that monitor your sleep, and those which hook up with 3rd party apps for all your outdoor activities and sports.\u00a0 Essential reading:\u00a0 ‘The most popular wearable fitness trackers for the gym’<\/a><\/p>\n

9. Find the right gym for you<\/h2>\n

The place you train is so important for your motivation. If you need a new gym for 2024, use Hussle to find the right gym for you. Search gyms near me and use Hussle Monthly+ to have unlimited access to multiple gyms in your area.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Add swimming to your routine<\/h2>\n

Most of us haven\u2019t swum since childhood, but swimming is an incredible way to work on base fitness, build functional muscle<\/a>, and get a great cardio workout. Make 2024 the year you find your nearest pool with Hussle\u2019s location finder and get those lengths in!\u00a0 Essential reading:\u00a0 ‘Does swimming build muscle?<\/a>‘<\/p>\n

11. Start strength training<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve never lifted weights<\/a>, now\u2019s the time to get started. Strength training<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to be barbells \u2013 you could also do calisthenics, bodyweight exercises, or weights machines. Adding strength training<\/a> to your fitness routine will improve your physique and future-proof your bones, metabolism, and posture. Head to Hussle for price-matched gym membership<\/a> with extra benefits.<\/p>\n

12. Get workout frequency right<\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re starting a fitness journey or switching up your goals, you need to hit that sweet spot between training enough but not training too much. Workout frequency is the science of how many sessions to hit per week. Get that right and you\u2019ll make faster progress.\u00a0 Essential reading:\u00a0 ‘How many days a week should I train?<\/a>‘<\/p>\n

13. Enjoy functional fitness training<\/h2>\n

Functional fitness is having a moment, so why not see if it\u2019s for you? Use the functional fitness area in your gym, or seek out a local PT or fitness facility that specialises in functional training and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of functional fitness.<\/p>\n

14. Join a fitness community<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s never been a better time to find your people within fitness. There are strong communities of like-minded people in sports clubs, at gyms, and even via online training groups. Find your tribe to skyrocket your motivation and accountability.<\/p>\n

15. Workout in nature<\/h2>\n

Taking your workouts into the great outdoors has proven benefits for your mental health<\/a> and wellbeing, as well as challenging your body in different ways. Walk, hike, run, cycle and explore your way to fitness by accessing what nature has put on your doorstep.<\/p>\n

16. Get adventure-fit for summer<\/h2>\n

Do you admire the fitness of great outdoor explorers? Summer 2024 could be your time to shine. Start now by getting fit enough to hike, climb, paddleboard or open water swim to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

17. Book a fitness holiday<\/h2>\n

Fitness is a lifestyle, not a moment, so why would it stop when you\u2019re away on holiday? Blend your leisure time with your fitness passion in 2024 by booking a fitness holiday or retreat. You might even come back fitter than before!<\/p>\n

18. Nail your nutrition<\/h2>\n

Healthy eating shouldn\u2019t be complicated. If you feel a little lost, remember the basics then find a style of eating that fits with your lifestyle. Protein with every meal and snack, carbohydrates for energy, good fats for health, and fibre from wholegrains, fruit, and vegetables.<\/p>\n

19. Become injury-proof<\/h2>\n

Look after your body so you can enjoy your favourite workouts<\/a> for life. Stretch and do mobility work. Walk for your wellbeing. Don\u2019t overtrain by doing too many sessions a week. Listen to your body for signs of tiredness, pain, low motivation, and appetite changes.<\/p>\n

20. Get started with a flexible gym pass<\/h2>\n

Not sure what you want your 2024 fitness journey to look like? Don\u2019t rush the decision. Use Hussle Monthly+ to get unlimited access to multiple gyms, pools, and fitness facilities near you so you can make the perfect choice.<\/p>\n

21. Try digital home workouts<\/h2>\n

Online workouts can be so convenient. No need to go to the gym, find time to travel, or think about what you should be doing. Just log on, get started, and let the instructor guide you through. Find your perfect digital workout, or use Hussle Monthly+ to get access to Yogaia (as well as your unlimited Hussle gym access).<\/p>\n

22. Sign up for an event<\/h2>\n

Nothing says motivation like seeing a sports event or race in the diary! Over the Christmas break, why not go online to see what takes your fancy. It might be a local 10K running race, an obstacle course race, triathlon, fitness challenge, or even a marathon! The world\u2019s your oyster so get booked in and start training.<\/p>\n

23. Make stretching a priority<\/h2>\n

We all know we should stretch more. It\u2019s great for recovery, helps avoid injury, and it feels good. Let\u2019s pledge to remember to stretch in 2024. Use free online content, sign up to an app, start going to yoga, or just set aside 5 minutes after your workout sessions. Future-you will be grateful!<\/p>\n

You\u2019re never too far from a gym near you! Hussle has 1000s of gyms, pools, spas and fitness centres all over the UK, and easy ways to access them to suit your goals.<\/p>\n
