subject: Losing Weight Can Be Everybodys Top Resolution [print this page] When New Years Eve rolls around, drinks are flowing and every thought is of what was and what could have been. New Years is a holiday in which everyone on earth celebrates time passing. Maybe such a time of life will always lead many people down a path of retrospect and nostalgia, reflecting on what it is they didnt achieve within a year, which they want to achieve for another year. With each passing of a New Year comes a tradition originating long ago, having been around for a very long time, making New Years Resolutions. A resolution, according to dictionaries, is a firm decision to do or not to do something. It really is simple. When New Years Eve comes around, most people on Earth are counting down from ten until midnight, making decisions to do or not do things once their clock strikes in yet another year.
A survey has been conducted, which consisted of over 300,000 responses worldwide. This was a survey to find out which resolutions are made more than others when each New Year rolls around. From all of these responses, there was one unanimous response which made it to a top spot. Number one, from 300,000 people, was a resolution to lose weight and get in better physical shape. Of everything on earth which can be accomplished, people want to become fitter and healthier above anything else. Money worries and solving those followed shortly, yet it is a given as each year draws to a close, people reflect more on their physical wellbeing.
Physical activity builds physical vitality. With each day of exercise, and each new exercise regimen introduced into a persons life, a greater chance at remaining alive longer and healthier for an extended period of time is created. For those with pre-existing conditions, exercise is an even more prevalent resolution, as benefits for those with conditions can be noticed even more, and even quicker, than benefits of a healthy person exercising will be recognised. A general health and fitness scheme can benefit people within all walks of life, as long as it is stuck to beyond a typical few weeks normally portrayed when New Years Resolutions are made.
There is no quick fix to becoming fit and healthy. It takes willpower and a real resolution to become a motivated picture of health may reflect a picture of youth. It is never easy to stick to a resolution, in fact even though four out of ten Brits plan on making a resolution each year, it is likely only half of those resolutions will be held for a fortnight beyond when resolutions were actually made. Holding on to a resolution requires a sense of self, of willpower, and of determination. Perhaps a reason behind becoming fit and healthy being each persons number one resolution is so many people make it their goal each year, and yet they never achieve it beyond a typical fortnight trial period of New Year Resolutions.
