Sticking to Your New Year’s Resolution to Stay Active

Ah, New Year’s resolutions—so full of promise, yet often hard to keep. If your 2025 goal is to stay active, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common resolutions, and for good reason: moving your body not only helps you stay fit but also boosts your mood, energy levels, and overall health. The trick, of course, is making it stick.

At incognito, we’re big fans of staying active. Whether it’s a hike through the woods, a jog along the coast, or a ski trip in the mountains, we believe that movement is medicine. So, let’s chat about how to make this resolution a lasting part of your life.

First things first, staying active doesn’t have to mean hours at the gym or a strict workout schedule. Start with something you genuinely enjoy. Maybe it’s a dance class, a leisurely bike ride, or even walking your dog through a park. When exercise feels fun rather than a chore, it’s so much easier to stick with.

One trick that’s helpful is pairing your activity with something else you love. Listen to a favourite podcast while jogging, explore a new hiking trail on the weekend, or invite a friend to join you—it’s always harder to flake when someone’s counting on you!

Consistency is key, but let’s be real: life happens. If you miss a day (or a week), don’t let guilt sideline you. Just pick up where you left off. Staying active is a lifelong journey, not a sprint to perfection.

And here’s where incognito comes in. As outdoor enthusiasts, we know the right gear can make all the difference. Our sunblock with built-in insect repellent is perfect for any activity, whether you’re jogging in the park or trekking through mosquito-prone trails. It keeps you safe, so you can focus on the joy of movement.

So, this year, let’s make staying active a habit you love. Start small, make it fun, and equip yourself with tools like incognito to keep every adventure comfortable. Here’s to a year full of movement, health, and happy moments outdoors!
