\"gym\"Happy New Year’s Eve!<\/p>\n

Are you thinking about what resolution you will make this year? I know I am.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular resolutions<\/a> Americans make every year is that they will get in shape\/lose weight<\/a>\/eat healthier. It’s why gyms tend to offer really great deals around this time of year and why if you’re a regular gym goer you know you’ll experience a packed gym for the first couple weeks of the year.<\/p>\n

But then most people tend to slack off and the gym goes back to its normal level of activity again.<\/p>\n

Why is it that most people lose steam on their fitness resolutions? New research<\/a> suggests people who are overweight or obese, especially women, feel uncomfortable struggling through workouts in front of thinner, younger exercisers. So it’s not a lack of determination that causes people to fall off the wagon.<\/p>\n

I understand that. The guys with biceps bigger than my thighs scare me too.<\/p>\n

Maybe the solution to that problem is to work out in your own home with hand weights or workout DVDs, or you could take a walk with friends. There are lots of ways to get in exercise that don’t involve a gym. <\/p>\n

You want to make sure you pick a resolution that you can stick with and keep it focused. For example, "I will exercise three times each week," rather than something more vague like, "I will lose weight."<\/p>\n

My resolution is to cook at least one meal each week that uses fresh and organic (if affordable) ingredients.<\/p>\n
