Tips To Start 2016 Off Right

With 2016 about to kick off, many of us are looking to start (and hopefully stick to) a New Year's Resolution. It might be to lose weight, or to build muscle, read more, or just make extra time to spend with friends or loved ones in our busy schedules. It always seems that fitness, exercise, and diets dominate the resolution discussions, but by the time the calendar turns to February, the workouts, salads, and motivation have disappeared for a majority of us. Earlier, we shared 60 ways to make 2016 your best year yet, a series of great tips from 2015 IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year Mike Z. Robinson, but we're not done yet! To help you find a resolution you can stick to, here are a few great articles and tips from all over the industry.

A Slip-Up Doesn't Have To Mean A Broken Resolution
