Goal Setting Tips & Help
By: Lynn Bode, CFT
It's a new year again. Do you have a New Year's Resolution? Well, if you're like most Americans (88 percent according to a GNC poll), you have at least one resolution. And, if you are like the majority of these promise-makers, your resolution is probably related to health and fitness. According to GNC, 55 percent promised to eat healthier, 50 percent resolved to exercise more, and 38 percent wanted to lose weight.
While resolutions are well-intentioned, unfortunately most people fail at keeping them. With all the hype surrounding these promises, it's easy to get caught up in it without really taking them seriously.
It's no wonder then, that more than 75 percent of Americans would prefer to never make a resolution again (according to the Whole Foods Market New Year's reSOLUTIONS survey).
