According to The University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology, published December 13, 2013, the number one New Years Resolution for 2014 is to lose weight. The study went on to report the following statistics:
| News Years Resolution Statistics | Data |
| Percent of Americans who usually make New Year’s Resolutions | 45% |
| Percent of Americans who infrequently make New Year’s Resolutions | 17% |
| Percent of Americans who absolutlely never make New Year’s Resolutions | 38% |
| Percent of people who are successful in achieving their resolution | 8% |
| Percent who have infrequent success | 49% |
| Percent who never succeed and fail on their resolution each year | 24% |
| Age Success Rates | Data |
| Percent of people in their twenties who achieve their resolution each year | 39% |
| Percent of people over 50 who achieve their resolution each year | 14% |
| Length of Resolutions | Data |
| Resolution maintained through first week | 75% |
| Past two weeks | 71% |
| Past one month | 64% |
| Past six months | 46% |
While these numbers are not very promising, there is hope for you (and me)!
Did you know the number one reason why people don't stick to a healthy eating plan is that they don't know HOW to eat nutritiously? It can seem a daunting task….. measuring out your portions, understanding proteins, carbs, and fats, and figuring out how many calories you should be eating in a given meal.
Did you know the number one reason why people don't stick to an exercise plan? Time --or lack of it. This is followed by boredom or lack of variety in a given program. Let's face it, running 3 miles a day on a treadmill in the winter when you start your resolutions in January can get monotonous, fast. If you don't see immediate results, and you're anything like me, you're almost guaranteed to fall off of the DREADmill wagon!
So how do you combat these obstacles and ensure that you DON'T become a statistic for failure and instead, keep moving forward towards your health and fitness goals? It's simple….find a program with Simplicity, Variety and Flexibility.
P90X3 is that program.
Each workout is 30 minutes long. (Time excuse no longer valid)
Each workout has VARIETY (Boredom excuse is no longer valid)
Nutrition Guide Included (Sticking to a nutrition plan has never been easier)
Still not sure if it's for you? I can relate to that. That's why I have decided to blog the entire 90 day workout, good and bad. I am not a physical trainer, star athlete or experienced fitness instructor. I am just like you. I'm a 44 year old female who is just looking to get healthier in 2014. I'm looking for results, and I want to be able to get them with a workout that is flexible, fun and that I can schedule into my day. I work full time. I have a family of four. I have come up with every excuse in the book. But 2014 is about me and finally getting those results that I am looking for.
If you want to join me on this journey, follow this blog and watch for daily updates!!

Here's to 2014!!
