The single most common New Year’s Resolution that I see each year is trying to stay healthy, but this doesn’t tend to work out in practice. How many people have tried to start their year off on the right foot and ended up right where they always were before the month even ended? Part of it may not be your lack of dedication, it may be because you’re not going about things in a way that sets you up to succeed.
Here are a few ways you can stay healthy, be yourself, and enjoy the process:
1. Try a dance studio. In addition to getting some valuable exercise time, dancing helps you feel sexy, young, beautiful, and fun. If you’re looking for a family activity, you can even bring along the kids to join you. Whether you’re a hip-hop fan or more into jazz dancing, different classes offer options for everyone.
2. Boxing class. Have you heard of the model Adriana Lima? Her workout of choice is boxing, which is an activity that is surprisingly effective for working out your entire body. Put down your other equipment and pick up the gloves for a workout that will help develop your cardio and coordination, all while melting pounds away for your summer beach body.
3. Hotel yoga classes. Chances are a lot of you have tried yoga before, but not all yoga classes are alike. For example, have you heard of Chill Yoga at Exhale Studio at Fairmont Santa Monica? With a blanket, bolster, mat, and dark room, you have the perfect workout after a rough work day to relieve your muscles. All the marquee hotels nowadays have state-of-the-art fitness programs for their overnight guests. Non-guests are welcome as well! Pick a day pass at an amazing hotel with a phenomenal instructor and a great fitness class and you have a new spin on a fitness standby.

Buying a hotel day pass with access to a gym and a pool allows you to have a relaxing swim during your workout. Or, you can focus your workout in the pool with a few laps. Swimming is popular because it puts all your different muscles to work, including some that get neglected in traditional workouts.

5. A mini-spa workout. There’s nothing wrong with mixing your workout and some relaxation. Get a resort pass, which usually gets you access to a spa, pool, and a fitness center, allowing you to enjoy yourself in some of the most glamorous hotspots in your city. You can enjoy an entire day of pampering by choosing a hotel with the amenities, buying your pass, working out, then relaxing your body in a spacious jacuzzi.
