  As January looms, so does the adage "New Year, New You." Despite all good intentions, the adage's call to action seldom lasts beyond a few weeks.

The article from nwitimes.com discusses the importance of setting behavior goals over outcome goals for achieving health and fitness success. It explains that while outcome goals focus on end results like weight loss or muscle gain, behavior goals emphasize the actions needed to reach those outcomes, such as regular exercise or dietary changes. The piece highlights that behavior goals are more within one's control, making them more achievable and less discouraging when immediate results aren't visible. It provides examples of behavior goals like increasing daily steps, eating more vegetables, or ensuring adequate sleep. The article also touches on the psychological benefits of this approach, noting that small, consistent behavioral changes can lead to sustainable health improvements and a more positive relationship with fitness goals.
