We may go to the gym once or twice, use the equipment a couple of times and then quickly lose motivation. Exercise doesn’t need to be such an all-or-nothing commitment. If you haven’t exercised before or you’ve tried an exercise program in the past and been unable to stick with it, it’s important not to set unrealistic goals. Committing to exercise for an hour a day in a gym may be too challenging at first, whereas committing to it for ten minutes just three or four times a week is more manageable.

Things don’t always work out quite how we thought they would, but don’t beat yourself up about it. Don’t let setbacks discourage you, because if you’re doing something worth doing you will almost certainly face some setbacks. Good luck with your resolutions and don’t forget to reward yourself for making it happen.
