Ringing in 2018: New Years Resolutions for Hauliers

New Year's resolutions are always a hot topic of conversation when January rolls around. Give up smoking, lay off the lagers, run the London Marathon, call your mother more often – no matter what your vices or personal aspirations, there's nothing like the clean slate of a brand new year to get you motivated. Here are a few ideas if you're looking for inspiration.

H2O Hydration

Aka "drink more water"! This year, do yourself a favour and start with a simple promise to bypass those sweet, sugary and caffeinated drinks (yes, we know – also yummy) that are so popular for quick-fix energy boosts. Good old H2O is a far healthier choice for your body and negates the artificial highs and lows caused by sugar/caffeine-laden beverages. It's also delicious and very thirst-quenching. True story.

Get Physical

Getting fit is on most people's hit list at the start of the year, but if you spend all day doing delivery work, it's even more important. Spending all day crunched up in the cab of a lorry can be tough on your body and, while promising to go to the gym every day would be ideal, we all know that it's not likely to happen. But even the smallest effort can make a big difference. Every time you stop, get into the habit of stretching your legs, arms, neck and back (Google some simple yoga exercises for inspiration), and go for a short walk to get your muscles moving. Commit to doing this for just a couple of days, and we promise that you'll see the results. Then commit to a year of it... and watch your life change.
