Guten Tag, ihr Lieben! This is a follow-up to my post, How To Talk About New Year\u2019s Resolutions In German<\/a>, and focuses on something I am very passionate about \u2013 health and fitness. What has health and fitness got to do with New Year\u2019s Resolutions, and learning German? These statistics from presseportal.de will explain!<\/p>\n

According to this article, these were the top 3 New Year\u2019s Resolutions made by Germans for 2015 (based on a study conducted by 1,000 Germans in December 2014 on deals.com):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mehr Sport 44% —- More exercise 44%<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Ges\u00fcnder ern\u00e4hren 39% —- Eat healthier 39%<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Abnehmen 32% —- Lose weight 32%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can read the full list (in German) by clicking here.
    \n<\/a>
    \nIt is not all that surprising that the top 3 resolutions concern health and wellbeing. Many people use the New Year as motivation to improve their health. So without further ado, let\u2019s learn some German health and fitness-related vocabulary.<\/p>\n
