How to stay Motivated and
Keep Your New Year’s Resolution

6. Stay away from people that complain about you going to the gym. Their mindset it not in the health zone. They might rub off on you and you may stop coming to the gym. Take a mini-vacation from them until you are strong enough to “conquer your mind to conquer your body”
