It’s also not a secret that a lot of the time, these New Year’s resolutions fail. People stick to them for a little while, but ultimately just go back to their previous habits. Why? Well, the problem is in the resolutions themselves.

“I want to get into better shape” is not a good resolution. It’s too vague and doesn’t actually give you what you need to take concrete steps toward your goal.

Instead, try phrasing your resolution as a SMART goal. This means it must be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

The following are great examples of SMART New Year’s resolutions:

• I want to learn how to do a pull-up by March.
• I want to go to the gym at least once a week for at least one hour at a time every week of the year.
• I want to attend Zumba classes at least twice a month.

All of these goals are specific. You can know whether or not you achieved them rather than being left scratching your chin wondering, “Did I get into better shape this year?”.

So remember, when you’re making your resolutions this year, be SMART about them.

New Workout Class Membership

These days there are so many new and interesting ways to stay fit. If you have someone in your life who likes to workout, just get them a one-month membership card for a class that you think they’ll like. It can be a spin class, rowing, yoga, exercising with a personal trainer, and so on.

Fitness Watch

One of the best New Year’s gifts for fitness junkies is a fitness tracker or a fitness watch. Technology is fun and it can help your friends so much while tracking their progress at the gym.

Yoga Blocks

Yoga blocks are perfect for all your yogi friends and family members. They can take their sessions up a notch thanks to these accessories.

Foam Roller

There are so many types of foam rollers you can get within a different price range. This is a great present for any friend that likes to exercise, no matter what kind of workout they like to do.

Invest in Yourself

If you add money to the mix, it will be more difficult to ditch your plans. Joining a gym isn’t cheap, but it will force you to get out there and stick to your workout schedule. If you can’t afford it, splash out on a couple of pieces of home equipment you’ll use on regular basis.

Don’t Do it Alone

Hitting the gym is always more fun when you have a workout buddy by your side, who’s there to help you become a better version of yourself. Hiring a personal trainer every once in  a while is also a good way to mix things up.

Be Specific

“Exercise more” and “lose some weight” are pretty vague resolutions, and you should be more specific when making your goals. Know what you want, but always remember it takes time to get to the final destination, and allow yourself to make small stops along the way.
