Top Ten Online Resources for Health and Fitness In 2016

With the 2016 year already in full swing, many people are starting to revisit their New Year's Resolutions. Losing weight and getting in better shape continues to be the number one resolution for Americans with an estimated 38% of resolutioners aiming to trim down. The sad fact however is that only 46% of people keep on track for their resolutions after 6 months and a paltry 8% of people actually achieve those goals.

With summer right around the corner and vacations already planned, there is no time better than the present to crank things up a notch and undergo some self-improvement.

There are plenty of ways to both keep your New Year's Resolutions as well as any other health-related goals; getting a support group, tracking your progress, incentivizing your struggle, or turning your hardships into a game. Luckily, regardless of the tactic you choose, you can always be connected to your support path. With the internet being as pervasive as it is, there really is no reason why you can't use it to help empower you toward your goals.

Here are some of the best online resources to help you track, stay motivated, and simply get ideas on how to reach your health and fitness goals.
