Everyone starts the year with resolutions, but few actually complete them.

Everyone spends their new year’s eve thinking of (mostly) unrealistic resolutions that they believe will transform their life in the upcoming year. However, come January second, just about everyone has stopped practicing all of the resolutions that made them uncomfortable, (exercising, giving up sugary foods, etc.) and by the third they’ve forgotten their resolutions entirely. The fact is these resolutions aren’t hard to keep as long as you can get yourself started right, which these three tips will help with.

Do not make your resolution a step towards the goal:

Many people set fitness goals for the new year, such as “Do 100 sit-ups every day this year.” On the outside, this looks like a reasonable and achievable goal, it actually won’t get you anywhere. Within five days of starting you’ll inevitably become extremely bored of doing the exact same thing. Every. Single. Day. Instead you should set a final goal for your resolution. This can be something like “By the end of the year I want to be able to do 5000 sit-ups in a day.” Now you have your end goal and so you will have an incentive to every day wake up and workout.

2. Make sure your resolutions are for YOU:

It is also essential to make sure the resolutions you set are for YOU and not for anyone else. If you want to really be motivated to complete your resolutions, you need to set ones that focus on what you want out of the next year. If you say you want to workout every day just because someone else said you should, you’ll quickly lose interest in the resolution. To stay engaged in your resolution, pick something that YOU truly want to do for yourself.

3. Make the resolution variable to keep it exciting:

Finally, it’s not good to have a static resolution, back to the example of 100 sit-ups per day, all the people who made that resolution will stop practicing the resolution because, no matter if it takes 364 days, nobody will be able to do the same workout every day for a full year. A more viable alternative to this would be to simply do an ab workout, any ab workout, every day. That way when the person is bored of only sit-ups on January fourth, they can switch over to crunches or another exercise. By doing that, the resolution will now still accomplish the end goal of working out your abs, but it also isn’t going to become painfully boring very quickly.
