Best & Worst Cities for Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions

It’s easy to make New Year’s resolutions. The hard part is keeping them. But before you blame yourself entirely for your previous lack of success, consider this: Your location may be setting you up for failure. If you live in a neighborhood with no sidewalks or fitness centers nearby, for example, you may not feel as encouraged to exercise.

In the Top 20 alone:

• 1 San Francisco
• 3 San Diego
• 5 Irvine
• 6 San Jose
• 11 Huntington Beach
• 12 Fremont
• 18 Los Angeles

Granted the OC is not overly represented vs other counties, but the point is CA has the positive atmosphere to help you stick with your resolutions. As WalletHub points out “If you live in a neighborhood with no sidewalks or fitness centers nearby, for example, you may not feel as encouraged to exercise. The same goes if most of your restaurant options are limited to fast food – You may be less likely to eat healthy on days you dine out.”

We have sidewalks, we have gyms, and we have plenty of healthy dining eateries. In most cases, resolutions are health-related: Lose weight; Eat better; Stop smoking; Get more exercise.

You can, of course, hedge your bets to keep health-related resolutions by clearing a space in your den or garage for some basic exercise equipment. An indoor exercise bicycle won’t take up much space. But what will?

According to an article in Better Homes and Garden, titled “Setting Up Your Own Home Gym,” these are basic measurements you should keep in mind when mapping out the space you need.

• Stationary bike—10 sq. ft.
• Stair climber—10-20 sq. ft.
• Rowing machine—20 sq. ft
• Free weights—20-50 sq. ft.
• Treadmill—30 sq. ft.
• Single-station gym—35 sq. ft.
• Multistation gym—50-200 sq. ft.

Most likely this will require freeing up some residential space. In other words, decluttering of clothing boxes or items of furniture that were replaced by newer items but you just “didn’t get around” to remove. Now you have an even more valid reason to get rid of them. You need the exercise area to keep that New Year’s Resolution to live healthier!
