A new survey by Vital Juice found that 80% of women’s New Year’s resolutions are “do-overs” from previous resolutions.
Vital Juice is a free daily email publication on fitness, nutrition, beauty and wellness. According to Vital Juice’s 2010 New Year’s Resolutions Study, 85% of women plan on making New Year’s resolutions on January 1. Of the women planning on making resolutions, 78% claim to have gotten better at keeping resolutions as they got older.
What are women resolving to do (or not do) for 2010?
- 45% said they will have more sex
- 63% will cut back on stressing
- 85% said they intend to exercise more
- 42% said they intend to get more sleep
- 29% will drink less alcohol
- 45% said they will diet more
- 70% will cut back on complaining
- 47% will eat less
Fines for breaking resolutions?
Most women indicated they’d stick with their New Year’s resolutions if they had to pay for breaking them. For 43% of women, less than $100 would keep them in line.
Support for keeping resolutions
While 21% of women claimed they don’t tell anyone about their resolutions, 28% of the women seek support with significant others, and 25% look to close friends for support. Only 14% look to family members for support in keeping New Year’s resolutions.
Mobile phones or sex?
When asked whether they’d give up their mobile phones or sex for a month, 48% said they’d rather give up sex! And 86% of respondents would give up Facebook before sex. Sounds like Facebook isn’t as addictive as some might think…
The Vital Juice survey was conducted online from late November to early December 2009. Most respondents (98%) were female.
