How to keep up that New Year’s Resolution

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - With the start of the new year, most people have already started their own New Year's resolution.

For some, it's a perfect reason to start working on their physical health. However, it's not exactly easy to commit to a new lifestyle of exercise beyond the new year hype.

Most people tend to abandon or drop their resolutions early in the year, while some struggle to begin altogether.

This causes gyms around the country to have a sudden rise and drop in both memberships and traffic.

Personal Trainer at Crunch Fitness, Jennifer Herrera, says that if you're struggling to get started at the gym, you can even start by just sitting casually in the gym to get yourself comfortable with being inside the gym.

"This is a lifelong journey. There is no hurry. There's no rush. You know, this is an everyday thing. We all just want to be better. And so just give yourself some grace because sometimes that can be so much more, push you more into the negative as far as being too tough on yourself," said Herrera.
