Planning on making a fitness-related New Year’s resolution this year? Think again — make a post-finals resolution.

Making a fitness goal is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions.

However, few people attain their goal, and the probability goes down almost each week, according to a study by NPR.

Be one of the successful few by following these tips.

1. Write down specific goals

Going to a spin class on Tuesdays and jogging twice a week are measurable things. Also, be realistic — working out every day isn’t going to happen.

2. Gather up those motivators

Share goals with friends and family. Find a friend or family member to set a fitness goal with you and train together.

3. Be productive over the break

This is a great time to get priorities in order and set out a plan to achieve goals.

Becoming engrossed in fitness keeps people coming back for more.
