About two thirds of American adults (68%) make new year’s resolutions, according to Zogby. The older they are, the less likely they are to make resolutions (see chart).
Of those who made resolutions for 2011, they most commonly plan to:
• Exercise more (41%);
• Lose weight (36%); and
• Save money (35%).
Exercising more is the most common resolution among all age groups, except for 25-34 year olds. Those aged 25-34 are more likely to resolve to save money (50%) than exercise (40%).
Saving money is the most common resolution among those with an annual household income of $35,000 to $50,000. Those with an annual household income of less than $25,000 are more likely to resolve to lose weight than save money. [Exercise/Fitness]
