Most make it through the first few weeks of the New Year and a few die-hards actually stick it out until the end of February. I observe them dabbling with the weight-lifting equipment and milling around the free weight area. They pile into aerobics, kickboxing and spinning classes. These new, excited faces line the treadmills, the bikes, the cross-trainers, and the stair masters. I see them in every corner grinning ear to ear determined to lose weight and change their lives. Just days into the new year, they march into the gym donned in their brand new sweat pants, matching sweatshirts, headbands and brand-new, blinding white gym shoes. The New-Years Resolutioners are a determined group indeed! They mean business! Armed with their resolution for the New Year, they flock to the gym in hoards, purchase memberships and invest in personal trainers. People resolve to quit smoking, get organized, take more time to enjoy family and friends and of course, one of the most common resolutions for the New Year, "lose weight" and "get in shape." Every Year.Įvery single year, I observe these "New Year's Resolutioners" descend upon the gym. In many ways, the New Year is a magical time, a time when we feel like we actually have the power to drastically transform our lives for the better. Indeed, the most logical point to "resolve" to do things differently in the upcoming year. A time that prompts us to reflect upon the events of the past, define our goals for the future, and at the stroke of midnight, plunge forward with a renewed sense of hope and promise.
