As Kiwis hit reset for 2026, nearly half of adults set health, fitness or personal growth goals. The problem is that only around 8 – 9% actually stick with them long term. It’s not a motivation issue, it’s a structure one!
That’s exactly what activewear brand LSKD is addressing with the launch of its new 1% Better Goals Planner, arriving this January alongside the return of its cult-favourite Accelerate Shorts.
Rather than pushing all-or-nothing resolutions, the planner is built around a simple idea: focus on getting just 1% better every day. It encourages people to clarify what they actually want from life, set realistic and intentional goals and track progress through small wins that build over time.
LSKD Founder and CEO Jason Daniel says most people don’t fail because they lack motivation, but because they don’t have a system that feels achievable. The 1% Better framework is designed to make progress feel manageable, not overwhelming.
Adding extra momentum to the launch is the return of LSKD’s viral Accelerate Shorts. Known for their flattering fit and performance-led design, they’ve become a favourite among runners, with previous drops selling out quickly across Australia and New Zealand.
With fitness, wellbeing and personal growth dominating early 2026 trends, LSKD’s blend of mindset tools and technical activewear taps into a bigger shift. One where structure beats motivation and consistency matters more than perfection.
For anyone feeling tired of setting the same goals every January, the 1% Better approach might just be a smarter way to start the year. Read more and set your goals here!
