Keeping Your Fitness Resolution Doesn’t Have to be Boring:

Is there any new year’s resolution more clichéd than the promise to lose weight? We all mean well when we say it, but what ends up happening is we take that gym membership we received as a holiday gift, use it for about a month and then go right back to shoveling the donuts and French Fries into our mouths.
