res·o·lu·tion
ˌrezəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/ noun plural noun: resolutions
Another new year is coming fast upon us. It's that time of year when we reflect on what has passed and the memories we created in that time passing. Births, marriages, birthdays, holidays, vacations, boyfriends, girlfriends, buying a new home, your children. All part of what makes you, You. And, within these memories there is the mechanics of this life, the goals set which made the wedding come together or completing the itinerary for the vacation. But, within all this goal setting did you happen to remember yourself? Is there perhaps a resolution set at the end of 2015 that didn't come to fruition in 2016? Did you want to lose that 20 pounds that has been sitting around your middle for five years? Did you gain the fitness you sought? Are you less afraid that a heart attack or stroke will strike? If your resolution for 2016 was to lose weight, or run that 5K or just get fit and you didn't accomplish it...well, you're not alone. Some statistics show that of the 45% of us that actually make a resolution only 8% of us successfully achieve that resolution. If your health is your top priority this year, and it should be - you deserve it! Here are some tips on how to accomplish your health and fitness goals.
