New Year’s Resolutions
Exercise is a great way to maintain a healthy mind & body. Many people begin a new year by making resolutions to lose weight or build muscle. Too often, however, men & women get stuck in an exercise rut, following the same exercise routine week after week. Not only can this be boring, fitness experts advise that it’s necessary to change an exercise routine periodically to continue to see results. It’s one reason why many fitness clubs unveil new classes every few weeks. With repetition, the body adapts & grows accustomed to the routine, using less energy as a result. That can affect your ability to lose weight. Changing your workout forces your body to work harder, producing better results. If you exercise with a trainer, discuss ways to modify your normal routine to surprise your body. Increased intensity, interval training, taking different classes, or even increasing the frequency of your workouts may do the trick.
Best Buys For The New Year
Smart shopping involves making budget-friendly purchases. Never paying full price is a mantra shoppers can follow to help keep their finances in check. In addition to coupons & other discounts, shoppers can usually score deals based on which time of year they shop for particular items. Each year, various consumer resources offer advice on the best time to buy certain items.

Consumers who take advantage of sales offered at the start of the new year can save substantial amounts of money. Now that the holiday season has passed, consumers can begin to find deals on items for themselves. • Clothing: Post-Christmas sales are booming, & stores are looking to sell what’s left of their inventories to make room for spring & summer selections. Even though the weather outside is still cold, sweaters, pants, coats, & more are usually available at a discount come January.

• Boats: Wintertime is boat show season, but it’s also the offseason for boaters in our area. These factors combine to make it easier & less expensive to find a new boat. • Air Conditioners: If the warm-weather season was particularly steamy this past year, it might be time to revamp the HVAC system or invest in some new portable units. Bankrate offers that the first few months of the year are prime times to shop for air conditioners. While you may not get the latest model, it’s likely you can find a reliable unit at below-market cost. • Theater tickets: January & February are not especially busy seasons for theaters, which means there will be greater opportunity to get discounted seats for many popular shows. • Linens & bedding: John Wannamaker was a retail entrepreneur & had a few department stores in New York & Philadelphia. Wannamakers held the first “white sale” in 1878, & since then many stores have continued the tradition. January is a great month to buy towels, sheets, bedspreads, & more at a discount. • Furniture: Many furniture manufacturers begin to churn out new inventory in February, so last season’s items will need to move quickly. Shoppers can often negotiate some good deals now & upgrade their homes’ decor.
