Fit for life!
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
Each year 40% to 45% of adults make one or more resolutions or goals for themselves. Research shows that 75% make it past the first week, but only a third make it past the first month. While a lot of people break their resolutions, statistics show that setting goals is still good because you are 10 times more likely to attain your goal, rather than people who don’t explicitly make goals. So what does this mean? This means that if you decide to set a goal for yourself this year, not only will you be a part of the statistics on New Year’s resolutions, you will also be 10 times more likely to attain your goal. According to research, about a third of those who set resolutions will do it in the area of losing weight or exercising more. This seems like a wise thing to do, because on average people who are active live longer than those who are not. Active people usually also have a greater capacity for physical, emotional and mental stress, and they normally have higher energy levels than people who do not exercise. (more…)
