Despite our reputation as an active, healthy nation, research has revealed a concerning trend amongst Aussies – with two in three people giving up on their health and lifestyle goals within just a month1.
With research revealing the top two most searched personal goals for Australians are improving physical health and improving mental health2, our goal abandonment is putting our health at risk, hurting motivation levels and more.
Recognising the challenge, ready meal delivery services, Youfoodz is extending Aussies a helping glove, through the appointment of the brand’s first ‘Chief Goal-Keeper’ – Australian Goalkeeper extraordinaire, Mackenzie Arnold.
As a professional football player, Mackenzie brings a wealth of firsthand experience in setting, saving and keeping goals.
Mackenzie Arnold, Australian Goalie and Youfoodz ‘Chief Goal-Keeper’, comments:
“Ive faced some major hurdles when trying to achieve my goals. Thankfully, I pushed through them and am back on track. I’ve also been fortunate enough to celebrate many achievements on and off the pitch.
“My role as Chief Goal-Keeper is to help Australians do the same. Whether you want to eat better, get your mental health in check, or run your first ever marathon, I want to help provide my tips and tools to help them achieve their goals.
“If there’s one piece of advice I want Australians to hear it’s take one game at a time and don’t change your entire routine and schedule just to achieve your goals. Look for efficiencies rather than cutting things from your schedule altogether.
“Having ready made meals in the fridge like those from Youfoodz is a great way to add time back into your day by saving on cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. This is a great hack for me when training as I can come home knowing I’ve got a healthy tasty meal waiting for me.”
From accountability to sharing your nutrition goals, Mackenzie has developed her top five tips for Australians to overcome the one-month goal barrier.
