Alternatively, why not try working according to the Pomodoro method? This means working intensely for 25 minutes, giving your full focus to a task, and then taking a five-minute break to recalibrate. It’s been proven to boost productivity, but also stops you from being strapped to your chair for hours on end.

2. Build up to more reps

If you want your resolution to be more exercise-based, how about working to increase the number of reps of an exercise you can do? Perhaps that would be through following our four-week plan to nailing a press-up, or working on lat strength so you can learn to do one pull-up. Alternatively, it might be about upping the number of burpees you can do in a minute.

The key here is consistency. If you want to improve at a specific exercise, you need to do that exercise regularly. So as well as telling yourself you’ll one day be able to hold a one-minute plank, think about how you’ll do it, such as holding a plank until failure at the end of every workout.
