If you are a gym regular, you certainly can relate to what I am about tell you. I hate the first week of the new year. Everyone and their mother decides to come to the gym to work on their new year's resolutions. Now I am all for improving yourself and know all too well what type of commitment it takes. But here are some statistics on why I think new year's resolutions are stupid:
- 62% of Americans set new year resolutions
- 8% of people are always successful in achieving their resolutions.
- 19% achieve their resolutions every other year.
- 49% have infrequent success.
- 24% never succeed and have failed on every resolution every year.
I am not sure what it is about the New Year that people think is magical but as you can see over half the population sets resolutions and a quarter of them have never actually accomplished them.
I give it 2 weeks until the gym is back to normal and I don't have to wait for a treadmill or the restroom and until then maybe the people will provide some comedic relief for me.
