Make a resolution
Resolutions are made to commit to positive changes in our own and other’s lives.
Each January, many of us resolve to better ourselves in some way. A few of us actually make good on those resolutions. While about 75 per cent of people stick to their goals for at least a week, less than half (46 per cent) are still on target six months later. this was from a study done back in 2002.
It’s hard to keep up the enthusiasm months after you’ve swept up the confetti, but it’s not impossible. This year, pick one of the following worthy resolutions, and stick with it. Here are just a few examples of some great resolutions to choose.
It does not always have to be about losing unwanted pounds we have packed on over the holiday season. It can be about helping others, finding ways to laugh more often or plan to enjoy each day to the fullest.
If your resolution is about committing to fitness and becoming healthier in 2016, GFREC aquatic staff can help you with fitness room orientations, specific swim workouts, circuit weight training classes or any drop-in aqua-fit class.
