FITNESS FRIDAY~ 3/26/21 ("SPRING" Ahead Towards Fitness Goals)!

HEY EVERYONE!

WELCOME "BACK" TO FITNESS FRIDAY!~

Its been a little while since we've touched base on Fridays regarding ways to just stay "Moving and Active". With the past year bringing so many different challenges for many, I think and feel that just having and trying to keep a positive "Mental Health" was challenging in itself! BUT.. With a new year and Spring upon us for MANY, It can certainly be a time of Hope and a period of "Renewal"~

**After the year and the winter we experienced, everyone wants and is ready to get outdoors more!.... Anything to come alive with the signs of Spring. Your mind is ready for bright, warm days, and it’s time to start thinking about coming out of your winter hibernation and enjoying the warmer temperatures, greening scenery and the fresh, spring air. Now, prepare your body…Whatever your goal, capitalize on the promise of spring to get you there.

**Did you fall behind in your fitness endeavors in the past year?..Then read below to help you in moving forward into spring.~

Pace Yourself

Beware of over-eagerness..... If you’re starting back after winter hibernation, Transition from your winter routine slowly to avoid injury and burnout........(If you experience any sharp or unusual pain, investigate it.) It’s common to feel tightness in your muscles and some discomfort when getting into a new fitness routine after a long winter. (Pay particular attention if the pain presents with tenderness at a specific pressure point; swelling, tingling, and numbness; or decreased range-of-motion)

Monitoring progress keeps you motivated and consistently on a steady path to goals. For days when you’re tempted to overexert yourself or call it quits early, stick with the program and resist the impulse.

Thrive with Variety

Make it a goal to rotate your exercises~ swim, cycle, change exercise equipment, get outdoors, walk yourself, take your pet for a walk, meet up with a friend or family member and help keep each other accountable!

Timing Is Everything

Congratulate yourself on taking an early initiative to feel your best as the warmer months get closer.... Lifelong improvements are yours for the reaching. Grab them through the sun’s rays!...Let the changing weather and beautiful scenery motivate you to get outside this spring and improve your mental and physical fitness!
