2. Hire A Coach. On top of that, you might even consider hiring a coach to help you out. Sometimes having a coach with you to give you specific recommendations is what you need to stay on track and give it your all.

3. Think Good Health. It is vital as you venture into your new year resolutions you put your health first. Don't focus so much on aesthetics. Know if you take care of your health, your body weight will likely follow.

By thinking about your health first, you will avoid those crash diets or extreme exercise plans that are nearly impossible to stick to.

4. Make It Fresh. Time to get revitalized. Revamp your workout program for the new year. Try some new exercises or take your workouts outdoors.

Change is good. It may be scary at first, but more often than not, it is precisely what your body needs.

5. Get Organized. Finally, if you want to see great success, make this the year you get organized. Write down on your agenda what you hope to accomplish and then carve out your time to make it happen.

Keep these tips in mind and make sure this year is the year when you achieve all your health and fitness goals.
