So without further ado, here’s Tip #1
TIP #1 - START NOW!
I know you all want to hear my thoughts and read all about the 7 fantastic tips that I have for making your resolutions a success this year (and I appreciate it), but my first piece of advice is this: “Don’t wait – start now!”

Figure out what it is that you really want to achieve. Write it down. This begins a working document of sorts that you can begin to tinker and tailor throughout the upcoming week and beyond. Writing these ambitions down makes them more than just a thought.
Start to think about how you are going to bring these to fruition… and as you do this, think about implementing these action-steps NOW! Maybe it’s on a smaller scale than intended, maybe it’s a little different than you thought the important thing is that you start!

Don’t wait to find time to go shopping for a new outfit, or for the most up-to-date issue of Mens Health to arrive before starting your routine. Don’t wait for the next pay-check so you can join the gym. There are things that you can do right now to begin working towards your goals.
“But my goal is to go to the gym 3 days a week and I don’t have the money to join right now”.
Start working out at home! Set aside the time that you were allotting for the gym and use this to do some exercises at home – form the habit of including physical activity into your week. And hey, this foundation you are laying might serve you well when it comes time to transition into the gym.
“I’m waiting for my first issue of Runners World that Uncle Johnny gave me for Christmas. The January issue always has great beginner tips in it.”
I’ll pretty much guarantee that one of the first tips is to run! So go for a jog. See how it feels. Take it easy if you’re worried about overdoing it, but you know what… you’ve just taken the first step towards achieving your goal of running. Okay, okay, you run to the mailbox everyday to see if the magazine is there – I get it.

You can come up with every explanation in the book as to why you can’t or shouldn’t start immediately. BAD START, and very few of them are legit (even though you'll convince yourself that they are). When your new magazine or fancy workout gear arrives, you can see if changes can be/ need to be made. Continuously putting off starting doesn’t help you get any closer to where you want to be. Take that first step – you won’t regret it!
