Welcome the New Year with a Healthier Lifestyle

This post was sponsored and written by Fitbug.

So, you made the usual drunken New Year’s resolutions in the heat of the moment, and you’re already wondering how you’ll ever be able to stick to them. If you’re like most people, the resolutions you made will be with regard to your health and general well-being. However, sticking to the promises you publicly made when the alcohol was flowing requires willpower, motivation and expert advice – all of which are available from an intuitive activity tracker.

Making New Year’s resolution is the easy bit; following through on them is where the hard work begins. Unfortunately, most people revert to their unhealthy, sedentary lifestyles after just a few weeks. But a Fitbug fitness tracker can work in conjunction with a Kiqplan fitness programme to give you the support and advice you need to succeed – as well as a much-needed kick up the backside when one is required.

Counting calories

If your New Year’s resolution was to lose weight, being aware of the calories you consume will be an inescapable part of your new, healthier lifestyle. All four Kiqplan fitness programmes continually calculate the calories you consume based on the information you supply. Depending on the specific programme you’re following, you’ll be given a target weight, and the number of calories you can consume based on your activity levels. The Kiqplan digital coach will tell you when you’re not eating enough, and give you a gentle nudge when you’re near your daily limit. And of course, your daily calorie allowance will change in line with your overall activity levels – keeping you on course to achieve your targets.

Monitoring your activity

Whether you like to cycle, run or walk, a Kiqplan health and fitness programme will constantly communicate with your Fitbug device in order to keep track of your workouts. Kiqplan programmes provide you with real-time data, and they send you workouts based on your weekly goals and performance. As you near your ultimate goal and achieve your targets, the intensity of the workouts you’re given will increase. Once you achieve your goals, you will be rewarded with performance badges for a job well done – keeping you interested, engaged and motivated.

Managing your diet

There is very little to be gained by exercise and extra activity if you aren’t going to make the necessary changes to your diet. What you eat will determine whether or not you lose weight, get in shape and generally become healthier. Too many people fall into the trap of believing they can eat whatever they like because they are exercising – a trap Kiqplan’s four fitness programmes never let you fall into. Based on the initial information you provide, your activity levels and your ultimate goal, your chosen programme will provide you with tasty recipes that contain all the nutrients an active body needs – without exceeding prescribed calorie allowances.

Expert advice

Many digital solutions to health and fitness are designed on a one-size-fits-all basis, but Kiqplan programmes are designed to adapt to the user’s specific needs. Moreover, Kiqplan gives you the chance to take part in webinars and Q&A sessions with nutritionists, dietitians and lifestyle experts. Kiqplan digital health and fitness programmes are designed with the help of dietitians, fitness experts and lifestyle gurus – giving you the peace of mind from knowing that your wellness is in the best of hands.

Depending on your ultimate health and fitness goal, you can choose from four very different Kiqplan programmes. Although each one has been designed with a very specific goal in mind, they continually adapt to your weekly activity levels, calorie consumption and sleeping patterns – creating a programme that is unique to you.

If you have ever made a New Year’s resolution to lose weight or live a healthier life, you will know how tough it can be to achieve your goals on your own. That is why many people choose to hire the services of nutrition and fitness experts – at great personal cost. However, one of Kiqplan’s health and fitness programmes provides you with your very own team of experts – available throughout the day in the palm of your hand. The ability to call upon expert advice and guidance from this intuitive mobile app could be the difference between achieving your lifestyle goals and spending another year wondering what might have been.
