More sport, less screen time, be more patient: About every second person makes New Year’s resolutions. In February, 80 percent gave up again. It can be done if you follow a few rules.

Hard to say how many are still there. From a purely statistical point of view, many of them must have given up long ago, although they had firmly resolved that it would really work this time. With New Year’s resolutions it’s such a thing; in February, four out of five of those who had just decided are no longer there. The online platform Strava, on which amateur athletes and professionals can compare their performance, has even identified a “Quitters Day”. It’s the second Friday in January – January 14 this year – because that’s when online performance records collapse and most amateur athletes seem to have already given up on their good intentions.
