Every year many of us set the same goals and accomplishments for the new year. Whether it be a new diet plan, to spend less money, or travel more, many times we find ourselves struggling to not only achieve these goals but even set a plan to do so. According toMen’s Health these are 5 hacks anyone can use to help achieve their goals in the new year.
Challenge Yourself to an Extreme Workout
You should be implementing different plans and progressing in your workout at the most basic level—but you can also push yourself in other, more exciting ways to keep your commitment fresh.
Choose an Accountability Partner or Personal Trainer
The American Society of Training and Development says that having a regular workout buddy will increase your likelihood of reaching your fitness goal by 95 percent.
Set Up Mini-Goals to Hit Each Month
This will give you a reason to celebrate incremental progress or success as you move closer to the bigger goal you set for yourself.
Selfies Lead to Success
That way, you’ll actually have visual evidence of your body’s progression, rather than strictly sticking to numbers on a chart.
Schedule a Competition for 90 Days After the New Year
