Most resolutions fail by February, and usually for a dull reason: the thing you promised to do is a little inconvenient. Good kit will not do the work for you, but it removes the excuses. A mat you like unrolling, a suitcase that makes a weekend away simple, a diary nice enough that you open it. We have grouped this list by the five resolutions people make most often.
