Morris County NJ Personal Trainer Reveals Shocking Health Poll for 2012 New Year's Resolutions

Jan. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- For millions of Americans who are suffering from seasonal  "New Year's Resolution Syndrome" now can find cold comfort in the new health poll results for 2012 New Year's Resolution survey. "People now can understand that they are not alone when not sticking to their New Year's resolutions and not achieving their goals," says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC -- a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

"However, the cold comfort is dismal and not comfortable," Yang says. "That means so many people are making the same old New Year's resolutions. Most don't stick for longer than three months. Many quit well before that."

Among the top New Year's resolutions are lose weight, exercise more, quit smoking, drink more water, eat healthier, save more money, make more money, start a business, pay off debit, and have better relationship.

The latest health poll was conducted by NPR-Thomson Reuters by interviewing more than 3,000 adults across the country during the first half of December, 2011.

The poll results show that almost half of people with dieting in mind wanted to drop 10 to 29 pounds. About 21 percent wanted to shed between 30 and 49 pounds.

Fifty one percent of all respondents make a resolution to exercise more. Thirty five percent pledge to lose weight and 9% of smokers  make a resolution to quit smoking.

Some people have had a lot of practice with their vows to do better. A little more than a third of people have resolved to lose weight at least once in the past five years. Among those who have promised themselves they'd shed a few pounds, 38 percent made that resolution five years in a row.

Making a resolution is the easy part. How well do people actually do? Overall, 57 percent of respondents who wanted to lose weight in the past told us they'd reached their goal.

Quitting smoking is more challenging. Among people who had vowed to quit smoking at least once in the past five years, only 36 percent said they had succeeded.

Now, one has to wonder how accurate people's reports of success on their goals might be. Real-world data from doctors' records, including the weights of more than 21,000 patients measured in 2010 and again in 2011, showed that about 46 percent of people lost some weight. On average, it was about 7 pounds from one year to the next.
