If you're trying to get fit for 2009, you're certainly not alone. When setting New Year's resolutions, sometimes you'll have better luck focusing on several small goals than one major one. Sure, it's easy to say you'll be running a 5k by February, but just in case something gets in the way of your big aspiration, add some easily reachable resolutions to your list as well.

Taking some inspiration from your resolutions for 2009, I've come up with nine health and fitness goals that are totally attainable in 2009. To see what they are, read more.

Drink one extra glass of water a day
Cut out soda, diet or otherwise
Spend five minutes a day on a relaxation exercise
Take the stairs whenever possible
Floss once (or twice) a day
Work out at least three times a week
Eat an extra serving of fruits and vegetables every day
Go to bed one hour earlier
Make an effort to improve your posture

Has Your Gym Been More Crowded Since New Year's?

FitSugar — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 05:30:21 -0800

The month of January is typically like the Superbowl for gyms. New Year's resolutions tend to get more people off the couch and into their workout clothes, which creates a more crowded gym experience than usual (especially at peak times). Have you noticed a difference in the number of people at your gym or in classes since Jan. 1?

Resolutions aren't for everyone, but they've obviously caught on with many of us who consider the new year a perfect time to set goals. If you're someone who does ride the resolution train, the best way to ensure your goals will stick is to make them realistic and specific.

While you're deciding what to declare at midnight tonight, consider whether or not you were successful in following through with your 2008 resolutions. If you find yourself tempted to make the same resolution as one year ago, think about tweaking your goal to make it a little more attainable.

Health Tip: Remember Those New Year's Resolutions

FitSugar — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

You may be thinking more about tomorrow's Halloween festivities, but I am asking you to recall the early days of 2008. Remember those New Year's Resolutions you made last January? You know the ones where you vowed to exercise more, eat less sugar, cut back on soda, or sign up for a race.

Hopefully, you've been keeping up with your healthy goals but if you made your resolutions and forgot about them, that's OK. You have a couple months until the year is up, so it's not too late to follow through. Take this as a friendly kick in the butt to brush the cobwebs off your list and join that gym, ditch those cigarettes, or drink more water.
