For many, a new year means creating a list of resolutions to keep throughout the year— particularly when it comes to getting in shape, working out more or just being more healthy in general are some of the most common resolutions.
Everyone’s fitness journey is different. According to research by RunRepeat, 50% of people quit their gym membership after six months so finding the type of workout that works best for you is important.
