If you’re anything like me, January 11th isn’t just the day the renowned beer-brewers John Molson and Carl Jacobsen died—it’s also the time when your willpower begins to crumble, like the perfectly baked shortbread you’ve been dreaming of, and your New Year’s resolution to be in the best shape of your life falls by the wayside. It’s probably not surprising that, as a photo researcher, I respond best to visual motivational aids. Assuming that many of you who visit Photo Booth are similarly inspired, I’ve put together a slide show of historical photographs of physical activity to help get us all over the hump and keep our resolutions strong for at least a little longer.

Last week, the photographer Jesse Burke took The New Yorker’s Instagram feed with him around New England, posting photos from wherever he went: a Vermont wedding, snorkeling on the coast of Rhode Island, and other adventures around his home in Providence with his two beautiful daughters and two odd-looking cats.
