New Year, New...Pain?

New Year's resolutions are wonderful and can lead to some long-lasting, life-changing behaviors for some people. For others, it means going all-in with a new behavior and then quickly burn out, failing to create a sustainable change. 

The most popular New Year's resolutions, as we all know, are fitness related. Thousands, if not millions of people each New Year want to lose weight, start working out, run a marathon/do a triathlon, compete in a Crossfit competition, etc.  Very few individuals will reach their goals and see their resolution through until the next New Year's challenge. Others will maintain their new resolution for few months with their motivation waxing and waning until they fall off the wagon.
