It’s a new year, and that means now is the perfect time to set some New Year fitness resolutions. Getting into shape and leading a healthier lifestyle is a great overall goal for 2023, but sometimes resolutions can be hard to stick to.
Here are some fitness resolutions to consider making for 2023.
Be More Active in Your Everyday Life
One of the simplest and most achievable fitness goals is to be more active. That doesn’t mean you have to work out. It could simply mean walking to work instead of driving, using the stairs rather than the lift, or walking for pleasure rather than staying indoors.
Small actions can add up over the course of the year to make a big difference to your overall health.
Join a Local Gym
Many people join the gym in January to get fit. Unfortunately, many stop going soon after. But if you’re serious about improving your fitness, joining a gym is a smart move.
Take it slowly and avoid overdoing it in the beginning. Don’t worry too much about immediate results—set achievable goals for later in the year and build towards them steadily.
As you get more confident, start exploring different machines to keep things varied and engaging. Resistance equipment like the chest press machine or lat pull down machines can help build upper-body strength, while leg press machines are ideal for lower-body development. Don’t forget to mix in cardio with machines like a rowing machine or exercise bike to support endurance and heart health.
Set Up a Home Gym
If you don’t want to go to the local gym, consider setting up your own home gym. You don’t need much to get started, and a small room or even the corner of a room is enough.
There is plenty of home gym equipment that is high quality and affordable, from free weights to cross trainers. You might want to go to the local gym some days and work out from home on others.
Setting up your own home gym can be a rewarding experience and it’s a great resolution for 2023.
Hire a Personal Trainer
If you find that it’s hard to motivate yourself, you’re not alone. Many people benefit from working with a personal trainer.
They can help to set goals, teach you the right techniques, let you know what you can realistically expect to achieve, and give you that all-important motivation to keep on going.
Build Muscle
While many people decide to get fit by running and doing other cardio exercises, don’t forget about building muscle. You don’t have to become a bodybuilder, but try to incorporate some strength training into your routine.
Get some free weights like dumbbells and kettlebells, learn a few exercises, and build strength steadily over the course of the year.

Set Realistic Goals
Resolutions are tough, and many people set them and don’t stick to them. This list should give you a good starting point. You don’t have to make all of these resolutions, so just pick a few of the most important.
One thing to remember is to make your goals realistic, which will make them more achievable. This way, you have a better chance of sticking to them. So by the time next year rolls around, you can look back with pride on everything you have achieved.
