Just checking in — how’s the New Year’s resolution going? According to WalletHub, Fort Worth ranks No. 67 on its list of best cities at keeping their resolutions, but we’re determined to reach our goals.

Don’t worry if you’ve lost momentum. We’re taking a look at some of the most common resolutions and offering some tips to stay on track, just in case you need some local inspiration.

Exercise more

FTW is packed with ways to get active and stay moving. If you need some ideas, you could start by checking our guide to local gyms and trying a new fitness class. You could also try out a new sport or activity like yoga or a running club.

Save money

Next time you’re making plans, think free. Fort Worth has many no-cost activities around the city including tours, libraries, museums, and parks. We also like to explore the city’s flavors without breaking the bank by visiting restaurants with meals under $10.

Eat healthier

Shopping at a local farmers market is a great way to incorporate more fruits + vegetables into your diet — you could even find recipes centered on the ingredients you’ve purchased. If you’ve ever considered meatless Mondays, Veganuary, or a plant-based diet, our guide to vegetarian and vegan restaurants will help you find new places to try.

Spend time with friends

The first step to spending more time with your BFFs is to make plans. We recommend a brunch outing at one of the city’s best restaurants for a midday meal, heading out for a hike, or meeting up for happy hour. And if your best friend has four legs, explore these local dog-friendly spots.

Spend more time with family

Kids love Cowtown, and the city is packed with kid-friendly activities and museums that appeal to all ages. We also recommend staying up to date with our events calendar, where thousands of the biggest + best happenings await, many of which are family-friendly.
