Stick to fitness resolutions

Then chances are that you're feeling a little less motivated than you did four months ago and are struggling to keep up the pace.

Take action

Keep a log record – it will help you to focus on your goals and to move forward; involve a friend – you'll be surprised at how quickly time passes when you chat to someone while working out; get the support of your family and friends; set a different goal – aside from wanting to shape up, how about setting other goals such as doing the Big Walk?; be prepared for setbacks, but don't let them ruin everything; and reward yourself for each successful week of training.
