Top 5 Reasons Why Physical Fitness Resolutions Fail According to GiftCardRescue.com
Ellicott City, Maryland (PRWEB) December 31, 2013 -- With the New Year upon us, many are eager to start 2014 off on the right foot. This year, physical fitness related goals are the No. 1 most-common resolution. Whether you’re eager to lose weight, get in-shape, or just adapt a healthy lifestyle, it’s safe to say that many people will be on a health and fitness kick come January 1st. The big question is how many people actually stick to their New Year’s resolution and succeed?
According to a study conducted by the University of Scranton, only 8 percent of people achieve their New Year’s goals. Approximately 24 percent drop their physical fitness resolutions within the first week and 36 percent within the first month. While this may sound discouraging, there are many factors that play into why so many people fail when setting a goal. Gift Card Rescue has identified the Top 5 Reasons Why Fitness New Year’s Resolutions Fail:
1.) Setting an unrealistic goal
2.) Not being prepared and organized
3.) Waiting until after the New Year to start
4.) Not having anyone to hold you accountable
5.) Giving up at the first obstacle
These five factors all contribute to the failure of a New Year’s goal. “Self-improvement and the desire to better one’s self is a shared hobby among Americans. That’s why so many people make fitness related goals for the New Year,” says Carrie Brenner, Marketing Analyst at Gift Card Rescue. “We want to help people achieve success in their New Year’s goals by providing them with useful information to do so.”
Gift Card Rescue allows consumers to save money on everyday purchases through the use of discounted gift cards. “We encourage consumers to use discounted gift cards when purchasing the items they need to achieve success in their New Year’s resolutions,” says Brenner. “Eating healthy can be expensive, so purchasing a discounted Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s or even a Walmart gift card and Target gift card, as they have full service grocery sections, can help to eliminate the burden healthy eating can have on your wallet.”
