Actually, it’s quite clever to start on 1 January, as changing your routines requires a lot of willpower until they become ingrained. The boost in motivation you get really helps you stick to your goals, and it also keeps you accountable, either because you can easily find other people with similar goals, or simply because you told people about your goal.
That’s why one should change one small thing instead of a big thing. In this case just start by taking walks. Make that a habit. Then add another small thing until that’s a habit. Only once you need a gym should you go.
