New Year Fitness Goals

Slate.com article that hits the nail on the head



While perusing the web looking for the inevitable glut of new fitness fads that will take us by storm this year, I found an article on Slate.com that referenced a study that said, 




"...improved fitness are among the 10 most common New Year’s goals for the 47 percent of Americans who make resolutions. The study also found that only 8 percent of New Year’s resolutions are successful".  


This sounds accurate because of the cyclical nature of fitness disinformation.  A majority of us will create goals pertaining to our fitness, start off highly motivated, and fail.  Then we do the same thing the following year.  I believe this is the definition of insanity (not the workout).  

We all pledge to "eat better and exercise more" and that is good.  But we also need a more structured, less aggressive approach.  Wouldn't you like to make a different resolution next year because you successfully nailed your diet and exercise routine once and for all?
If so, here are 5 tips to help get it done.
