With exercise among the top 2025 resolutions, experts suggest starting small and specific.

Determine your preferred activity, whether solo or in groups, and set manageable goals, like walking three times a week. Identifying your deeper motivation, such as improving overall health, can help sustain progress.

Nutrition plays a crucial role; hydrate and fuel with carbs before workouts and protein afterward. Tools like MyPlate or consulting a dietitian can refine your diet.

Finding enjoyable activities and allowing occasional rest days keep motivation high. Adjust your routine if something isn’t working, as any movement is better than none.
