GOING TO THE gym and getting healthy are Ireland’s most common New Year’s resolutions.
That is the finding of a new survey conducted by Ipsos MRBI on behalf of Motivation Weight Management.
And, in what may come as a surprise, Irish people aren’t that bad at keeping their resolutions.
When asked if they planned to make a New Year’s resolution for 2015, 49% of Irish people claimed they would make one.
The poll showed that 28% of those who made a resolution in 2014 vowed to shed the pounds and be healthier.
A further 21% vowed to get fit; 18% looked to give up cigarettes; 7% wanted to be better with money and 4% vowed to further their career.
Of those, 58% said they kept their resolution. 60% of those who made a resolution to lose weight and be healthier claimed to have kept their resolution; 66% failed to give up smoking, 61% failed to drink less alcohol and 62% learned to get better with money.
