Team GB partner NatWest has commissioned a team talk to inspire the nation from leading athletes to give people a motivational boost this summer
Getting fitter, becoming healthier and improving finances revealed as Brits' top goals, according to new research
Over half of British adults (56%) say improving their financial situation is what motivates them most in life - however 80% of them have given up on their money-based new year resolutions by April
Olympic Medallists from Team GB have come together with partner NatWest to give a rousing team talk aimed at inspiring the nation to take action towards their goals.
With just over 100 days to go before the
The project follows new research* commissioned by NatWest amongst 2,000 British adults which pinpointed April as the month when the majority of people who have set resolutions for the year lose motivation.
Amongst those resolutions, financial goals (21%) are one of the most popular for Brits, alongside the likes of getting fitter (35%) and becoming healthier (30%).
The top ten goals set this year by British adults are:
1. Getting fitter (35%)
2. Becoming healthier (30%)
3. Spending more time with family and friends (23%)
4. Travelling (23%)
5. Financial goals (21%)
6. Reducing debt (16%)
7. Becoming more organised (14%)
8. Work/life balance (14%)
9. Spend time on mental wellbeing (14%)
10. Having more flexible income to spend on treats (12%)
Overall, sadly 43% of Brits expect they won't achieve their goals this year. When it comes to financial aims, despite over half of British adults (56%) saying that improving their financial situation is what motivates them the most in life, two-thirds (67%) have given up on financial resolutions by 1st April - and 80% of us will have given up on them by the end of that month.
Regarding the blockers to achieving their financial goals this year, 16% of Brits put this down to setting unrealistic goals, 10% said laziness, 8% lack of motivation and 7% said too many distractions.
