many Americans, the start of a new year comes with goals to be healthier.
Usually, exercising more is at the top of that list. In early January—when
motivation is high—it can seem easy to meet your targets…but then life happens!

tournament, or you catch a nasty cold. So, getting to the gym or eating healthy
feels like the last thing you want to do. The good news is that help is
available to make fitness a habit that endures.

Year’s resolutions and watch the video below to learn 4 ways to help you make
your workout routine a habit. And visit HPRC’s Fighting-Weight
