Do you have a New Year's resolution prepared? Setting and chasing goals can be fun and inspire you to become better, but it's way too easy to set the wrong kind of goal—and then fail after just days or weeks.

Whether you want to lose weight, hit a new PR in the gym, or create the habit of working out a few times per week, this is the episode for you.

We discuss evidence-based methods for goal setting, that will increase your chances of success, boost your motivation, and make you feel better about yourself while pursuing them.

Happy New Year, everybody!
