Resolutions always seem so BIG and overwhelming. What if your resolution was just to make one small change every week?

Small changes add up right? Doesn't an avalanche happen from one little snowflake sticking to another little snowflake, and so it goes?

If you are losing only 1 pound per week, that seems like the weight is never coming off. But, when you think about one year from now, 52 lbs after 52 weeks doesn't seem that small does it?!

Cutting down cigarettes from 20 per day, to 18 per day, to 16 per day and so forth, adds up! We teach children this by saving money, putting pennies in a jar until they can buy that toy they want. Little change adds up!

Maybe today you can start doing something different in your fitness routine to make big changes by next year.

Here are ten ideas to get you started:

1. when taking the stairs, do it TWICE
2. daily push-ups and sit-ups before bedtime
3. stretch after every work-out
4. increase your cardio time by 10%
5. increase your distance by 10%
6. ride a bike one day a week
7. take a new fitness class or try a new sport
8. find a hiking trail in your area
9. do lunges and squats during commercials
10. work out in the morning or evening, opposite of what you do now

Any kind of change can inspire and motivate you to keep going. It will also help you reach your goals faster by shocking the body. If you like these tips and would like more, subscribe to this article.
