To Resolve or Not to Resolve
Outlandish Fitness Goals Not Recommended
New Year’s resolutions—ah, what fun.
This time of year was always a blessing and a curse for us personal trainers when I worked in a health club several years back. Inevitably, the club would go from ghost town to wall-to-wall bodies. Great to have new people in the gym seeking their goals of health and fitness, but it always caused difficulty for the regulars trying to get their workouts completed, as the facility is taxed with maximum occupancy.
Over the years I’ve addressed this topic a number of times from varying perspectives. I must admit that for a time I was very against the idea of setting New Year’s resolutions. Later, I saw them from a brand new perspective and found great value in them. Over the last few years I find that my view of the New Year’s resolution has taken yet another turn. I’d like to say that my approach is more balanced. I’d like to—but you be the judge.
