A new year is upon us, and that means making some New Year's resolutions.
Research shows that about 40 percent of adults set goals for themselves in a new year. Often, those goals involve working toward a healthier lifestyle.
Getting a gym membership can be a great way to start improving your physical health. Sign up with a friend, and hold each other accountable for making time to work out.
