A new year, a new you. It’s time to reflect on the previous year and decide what went well and what didn’t? How will I be better this year and make every second count?
Fitness is always at the top of everyone’s New Year’s resolution, with all the enthusiasm to whip our bodies into shape. Unfortunately, no matter how much we try, things always seem to fall through the cracks after a week or two.
