A big fraction of humans devote their New Year's resolutions to losing weight and getting fit, but after summer, they usually "forget" about their healthy plans and go back to their old ways. When asked why they can't get back in the fitness game, the usual excuses are the following: they lack motivation, they're too busy, and bikini season is finally over. While we're fully aware that January is a great month to kickstart #ProjectAbs, today is no differrent. We list down 11 reasons why you should work on your best body ever now!

(Ed's Note: Talk to your doctor first before diving into any exercise program. More importantly, this article doesn’t promote being skinny and starving yourself. This is about eating right and sweating it out through exercise to strengthen the muscles. Always remember that being strong is always better than being skinny.)
