What Is the Most Popular New Year Resolution?S  Every December,
the same New Year Resolution: We—the (flabby) people of the
world—decide that we will start going to the gym on January. For
real. It's not only a popular culture factoid. Here's the Google
data that proves it.  As you can see, the search volume for
"gym" skyrockets at the end of every single year. There's a
small peak approaching summer, but the huge spike is always at
the end of December.  And seriously, this year I'm going to the
gym or hell be damned. It's that or I'd die of arteries clogged
with pork and my kidneys collapsing, overflowed with uric acid
and wine because of my ongoing Spanish dinners overdose.
