Someone on the internet recently described January as ‘just a collection of 31 Mondays’ and we couldn’t agree more because after excitement dies down, the reality of the New Year finally hits you and you’re not really sure how to achieve the “new year, new you” mantra. It is easy to get overwhelmed (even sidetracked) by all the resolutions you feel you have to make just to live up to 2018’s standards. Take a deep breath, this is where DStv comes in by helping you find motivation in all the right places.
1. Work that body
Now that the partying and the extravagant eating are over, it’s time to reclaim your body by shedding off that extra 2017 weight. Who better to get you back in shape than the living proof of weight loss herself Khloé Kardashian. Khloé recently revealed in an interview that her family told her to lose weight because she was “hurting the brand.” Definitely not a nice thing to say to someone but she put all her energy into good use to create the envious body that she now rocks. To get some inspiration for your workout, tune in to the new season Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian where the reality star helps some of the most brokenhearted people transform their lives for the better with a team of Hollywood’s best trainers and a glam squad, Fridays from 19 January at 20:00 CAT on E! Entertainment (124). You can also stream it on DStv Now.
Another workout motivation to tune in to is Joe Wicks, The Body Coach Workout, Saturdays from 13 January at 09:19 CAT on BBC Lifestyle (174) or stream it on DStv Now.
2. Eat right and healthy
We all make dieting plans that we never follow through no matter how much we tell ourselves that “this time it’s going to be different.” Well, here’s to hoping you left all that wishful thinking in 2017 because 2018 is a year of action right down to what you eat. And who said healthy food has to be boring? Here are a few cooking shows to borrow from to keep your cuisine exciting and healthy at the same time. Cook away!
