Talk about New Year and one of the first few things that come to mind are the goals and resolutions for the year ahead. New Year's and New Year's resolutions have become synonymous with one another. Improving health or losing some weight is always at the top of the agenda for many of us. Yet, this goal evades many, only to top the list for the next year's resolution! According to various studies, more than 75% of the people who join a gym drops out after 7- 10 days! That takes us to the question Why do new year's resolutions on health & fitness fail for many people? And how can we make it failproof? Here are 5 tips for a fail-proof new year resolution

Tip 1 Make it Realistic

A realistic goal has a higher chance of being achieved. If your goal is weight loss, do not expect to lose more than 3-4 kgs in a month.

Not only is it very difficult to achieve, but it is also extremely unhealthy! Redefine your goals to meet a larger objective of long-term health and wellness. Instead of losing weight, focus on losing fat. Instead of thinning down, focus on gaining strength. Instead of losing a specific amount of weight, focus on reducing your blood sugar or cholesterol levels. Remember weight loss is a by-product of improved metabolism & health, and not the other way around. It is possible to lose weight and worsen your health at the same time!

Tip 2 - Take Small Steps

Rome was not built in a day! All good things in life take time; health & fitness is not any different.
