Why New Years Resolutions Suck: How to Set Goals the Right Way

January 03, 2023 • Barpath Fitness • Season 1 • Episode 45

It’s the new year and you’re ready to make changes. But, it sometimes feels like the odds are stacked against you when you look at success rates for new years resolutions.

Research conducted by the app Strava looked at over 800 million user-logged activities in 2019 and based on this data, they predict the day most people are likely to give up on their New Year's Resolution is January 19.

19 DAYS. For those who take the leap into starting to build healthy habits, that’s the average amount of time most people stick to it.

So, how do you make sure that you aren’t in that statistic?

In today's episode we talk SMART goals, adding in behaviors versus taking them away, our 21 day challenge we host in our Stronger Than Your Boyfriend Facebook Group, and more.
