HOW TO KEEP THAT NEW YEAR'S FITNESS RESOLUTION:
Forget what you think you need to do and do what you will do. Start small. Go for quality. 1 set of push-ups done right is better than 3 half-arsed. Exercise daily until you build your strength and stamina to the point where you will need to take a day off between workouts for muscle recovery. Forget the mirror. Forget the scale. Set a goal based upon performance. Something like doing 50 push-ups and 20 pull-ups, bench pressing 250 pounds, running an 8 minute mile, etc., and work towards that until victorious then pick another goal. You'll be surprised that you can get in shape with less volume and more focus and intensity.
