What is your New Year’s resolution list this year? Did you vow to swear less, drink more water, spend more time with your family, spend less money on frugal things? We have all committed to New Year’s resolutions at one point or another, which is great because it is a sign that we want to have goals and better ourselves and be grateful for this new year that we have. However, we often times fall disappointingly short of our New Year’s resolutions and goals. Why is that? It is normally because we give up on them, or they seem to hard or not feasible. We often do not realize the benefits that achieving our New Year’s resolutions would actually have, such as a more healthy lifestyle.
Have you ever vowed to be one hundred percent dedicated to losing weight when the clock strikes midnight on January 1st? If so, you are not alone; many people make weight loss, body building, and an over all more healthy lifestyle one of their New Year’s goals. Unfortunately, over eighty percent of those people lose sight of their resolutions, which is why the gyms stand empty and the treadmills untouched usually by January’s end.

That does not have to include you, though. Going to fitness centers can be genuinely fun. You just have to find the right fitness center for you and the right variety of classes for you. For example, are you in the fitness world simply to build muscle? If that is the case, then a traditional fitness center is probably the best fit for you, with its wide variety of weight lifting machinery and bulk building oriented approach to fitness.
Many people want a more modern and lower impact approach to fitness and health, however. If that is you, choose a fitness center that offers programs such as yoga and water aerobics. These group fitness activities will make you feel less like an outcast in your health endeavors, and you might even make some awesome like minded friends along the way.

In fact, you might find it more beneficial to you to share your fitness goals with others, so that they can help hold you accountable for your progress. Having friends who are also in the fitness world means that people will notice if you start to give up on your resolutions or fall behind on your fitness and health path. Group based fitness classes, such as spinning and yoga, give you this group mentality and the sense of security it brings.

This is especially helpful if you are one hundred percent new to the fitness world. If you have never stepped foot on a yoga mat in your life, you probably want and need that guidance of others who can give you helpful tips or experiences. Or, you may just want to have someone to laugh your way through stretches and poses with. Newbies to yoga often times look quite ridiculous, so it is always nice to have someone to share that comical experience with.
