Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - The year 2009 is just about over and the year 2010 is about to kick off, that means it is time to make our New Year’s resolutions.

Every single year, millions of people all around the world make their New Year’s resolutions.

Most of these usually revolve around losing weight and getting into better shape both mentally and physically.

Many people may do this by trying to change their lifestyle by going to the gym, starting a crash diet, etc.

The key to a New Year’s resolution that will get you fit and healthy though is to set a goal that you can actually achieve.

What I mean by this is, do not set a New Year’s resolution to go to the gym at 5 a.m. every single day, and lose an incredible amount of weight, because it probably will not happen.

A New Year’s resolution you could set could be to maybe try to work out 3-4 days a week by walking or doing some physical activity.

Setting more manageable goals such as losing 5 pounds in a month or so could be far more achievable than stating you want to lose 40 pounds by next New Year’s.

By doing this, setting goals you can achieve and putting yourself into a diet and exercise regimen that you feel comfortable with in your lifestyle, is the true key to having a successful year 2010 where you can get more healthy and fit than you already are.

Sow hat are your New Year’s resolutions? You can post them in the comments below, let’s share some ideas!

Happy New Year everyone!
