As we kick off 2025 many of us are setting resolutions to improve our health and fitness. But did you know that nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February? The key to success isn’t drastic changes—it’s taking small, consistent steps toward your goals.
Here’s how you can make your fitness resolutions stick this year:
1. Start Small: Instead of committing to hour-long workouts seven days a week, aim for 20-30 minutes a few times a week. Build gradually so your body and schedule can adjust.
2. Be Specific: Vague goals like “get fit” are hard to measure. Set clear objectives like “walk 10,000 steps a day” or “strength train twice a week.”
3. Listen to Your Body: If you’re dealing with pain or unsure where to start, don’t push through it. Pain is a sign your body needs attention not punishment.
4. Get Support: You don’t have to go it alone! Having a plan and guidance can make all the difference.
