Are New Year Resolutions Still a Thing?

It’s 2025 and that time of year again. It’s the time where most of us make New Year’s Resolution for the upcoming year. We set out to leave bad habits from the previous year behind. The changing of the digits signal a fresh start. We get a newfound burst of enthusiasm and gusto to go hard or go home.

Regular gym attendance is usually at the top of most people’s resolution list and for good reason.

Many fitness resolutions fall along the lines of “go to the gym for one hour five days a week!” or “lose 50 pounds by March!” Why not, you say? It’s a new year after all and anything is possible. Unfortunately you might not achieve this goal. The good news is, you are not alone. According to U.S. News and World Reports, a whopping 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail and have been abandoned by mid -February.

Although these numbers seem daunting there are many ways to break the cycle make a resolution that holds true throughout the year.

Imagine if you dumped the “New Year Resolution” and started now? You’ll start seeing results one day earlier then if you wait until tomorrow…or the New Year!
