There’s a time and place for goal-oriented wellness. When you’re training to make a team, beat a personal record or radically change an unhealthy lifestyle, numbers and dates are often worth shooting for.
But for too many of us, especially at the beginning of a new year, wellness goals tend to be too lofty and specific. You want to weigh a certain number in time for a wedding, or lift a certain weight in time for summer. You promise to get up every day before work for a new, expensive class. When these goals fall short, we’re racked with guilt; and for the majority of us, that happens almost immediately — a few years back, Strava identified January 19 as “Quitter’s Day,” the day people are most likely to give up on their wellness resolutions.
It’s a self-defeating process, which you’ve probably figured out after years of failed resolutions. So why repeat the cycle again this January when you can adopt more realistic and thus more impactful goals for the new year? To that end, we’ve compiled 25 reasonable resolutions for getting fit in 2025.
