People wanting to improve their levels of fitness and happiness should don their gym clothing and set themselves achievable exercise goals.

This is according to Mary Comber, editor of Health & Fitness magazine, who said that these goals have to be tailored to fit each individual's lifestyle.

Her comments follow claims from Vitagetics that two-thirds of British women quit their new year diet on January 13th, less than two weeks after making a resolution to lose weight.

Ms Comber said that the reason so many fail in their new year's resolutions is because they set themselves "unrealistic and over-ambitious goals".

"If you want to get fit, make sure you choose an activity or exercise you enjoy. If you enjoy what you're doing, you're more likely to keep it up," she added.

Ms Comber recommended women try yoga, dance classes or jogging with a running club and said that these can often be cheaper than gym memberships.
