You’ve taken the first step (the hardest part!) and you’ve committed to making 2025 a healthier and happier year. But did you know the average resolution only lasts 3.75 months making it just past March?! Yes, most people give up on their goals before the first half of the year. So, if you really want to make your resolutions stick and create change, you need to keep going! We know this can be harder than it sounds though, so we’re going to let you in on one of our secrets to keeping momentum — exercise! Yes, energy creates energy. So, next time you feel like you’re heading into a slump, don’t curl up on the couch with a load of junk. Get outside and move your body or put on a high-energy song and jump around. This will create more energy and encourage you to act.
If, like lots of people, you’d like help creating a roadmap that will lead you where you want to go this year, we can be your guides! We have a proven success record and a tried-and-tested method that gets the results. And the best bit about Hera? If fits into your life.

GET YOUR CUSTOM PLAN
Heard of habit stacking? It’s basically a simple way to engrain new habits by taking advantage of ones you’ve already created. To us, this is a no-brainer. The more you do something, the stronger and more efficient your neural connections become, creating strong habits like your morning shower, brushing your teeth before bed, or drinking coffee on the way to work. Keen to try habit stacking? Pick an existing habit and link it to a habit you’d like to create. It helps to link tasks that you’d usually do around the same time of day. For example, you could commit to meditating before making your morning cuppa, calling your Mum after dropping the kids at school, or something as small as complimenting or kissing your partner when you get into bed each night. And before you know it, these two practices will go hand in hand and become an intrinsic part of your everyday life. Give it a go!

It might not be sexy, but it turns out consistency gets the results. While it’s common for people to indulge in radical stints of training or constantly trying on fad diets, a new study shows that regularly turning up and repeatedly working towards your goals could be more powerful than aiming for perfection. This study looked at two different groups both doing the same workout, but with one group doing it in one hit, once a week. The other group did the exact same number of reps and program as the first group but broke this out over five days. This meant Group 1 did one day of intense training, one day a week for a month, while Group 2 trained moderately five days a week, for a month.
The interesting thing was that significant muscle strength improvement was reported amongst the group that broke the training out consistently over the week, while there was little to no change amongst the one-hit-wonder group. So, next time you feel like you need to run a marathon for it to be effective, remember the power of regular little bursts.
A HERA TRANSFORMATION
I’ve been working with Keira for over four months now and I’m so glad I finally made the decision to reach out. I knew it was going to be a long-term commitment, not a short-term challenge. I’ve had so much support and I honestly can’t believe how consistent I’ve been. Hera has a different nutrition approach. No food is off-limits and if you want something you can find a way to fit it into your day. Before Hera I was under-eating and not properly fuelling my body. Now I get to choose what makes me feel good. Friends and family always ask how I eat so much and still get such great results, but it all comes down to planning. And all the planning and organising skills I’ve picked up along the way have helped me in other aspects of my life. I’m so glad I made myself a priority and I’m excited to continue working with Keira.
