Persuasive Essay On New Year Resolutions

New Year Resolutions – there, I said it.

The most common New Year’s resolution is to lose weight, but you might have noticed in years past that declaring a commitment to this end rarely results in a comprehensive plan that will actually help you to reach your goal. Perhaps you sign up for a diet program and even attend a few meetings before getting too busy to go. Or maybe you join a gym and shell out major money for access to equipment that you never end up using.

Whatever you have done in the past, you can make 2013 the year you turn it all around.

The trick, in many cases, is not to put such an emphasis on the number you see on the scale, but rather to address your health and fitness in a way that provides you with other forms of success.

Use a calendar or planner to keep track of important events, meetings, appointments, and to schedule blocks of your favorite exercise.

Do it Different From Last Year

Only a fool does the same thing over and over and expects different results, so pen an exercise schedule and stick to it just like you would the meetings or events you regularly add to your calendar. Whatever you tried to do last New Year, don’t do it again unless it worked. If you bought a gym membership, trained for a month, then quit – don’t do that again!

Join a class.

Make new workout friends.

Find a training partner.

Try a new sport.

Don’t forget that a lack of exercise equipment doesn’t preclude you from working out. If you can’t afford a gym membership or home equipment, grab some friends and head to the park for a pickup game on Saturday afternoon.

We can all have a great time, boost our health and fitness in the process, and get one step closer to reaching our goals in 2013.
