Historically, the New Year’s resolution success rate is a pretty bleak number. Somewhere along the way, the desire for a healthier lifestyle or sticking to a budget or reading more just gets lost in the chaos of the day-to-day. What many experts have recommended of late is creating habits to achieve such goals, making whatever positive change you’re seeking that much easier to incorporate into your daily life.
For example, if your goal for 2021 is to improve your health and get in shape, making exercise and good nutrition a habit will help you stick to your mission. Tools like the Verv Premium Home Workout Planner: Lifetime Subscription are beyond helpful for doing this. Verv has you covered with content on four important areas of personal wellness: physical activity, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness.
For physical fitness, there’s a huge library of targeted workouts to help users manage weight and build muscle, plus a 30-day challenge to boost their motivation. Those that prefer (or like to also incorporate) walking and running will find a variety of programs to follow, complete with custom-made plans and stats for tracking progress. Get moving with hours of dance and yoga content.
Sticking to a resolution is largely mental, so the mindful programming on this platform is as important as the physical is. Make like the CEOs and get into a meditation practice with over 270 guided meditations and step-by-step courses. Listen to calming sounds and tune into sleep stories to relieve anxiety, recover from tough workouts and unwind before bed.
Verv also features meal plans for every taste and every diet, making it easy to stick to your nutritional goals. Avoid temptation with delicious recipes that are listed alongside prep time, so you can plan accordingly.
The #44 app in the iOS Health and Fitness Category, you can synchronize Verv with Apple Health and get your fitness data delivered to the Health app for ease of tracking. You’ll be glad you got the lifetime subscription, as reviewers rate the Verv app 4.7 stars.

After classic rocker Neil Young demanded removal of his music from Spotify over vaccine misinformation coming from The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the platform made the decision to take down Young's songs and continue supporting Rogan with whom they have an exclusive contract.
