The days are longer, temperatures warmer; ahhh the beautiful season that is Spring! Such a lovely time of year which sees the end of the cold and with it, quite possibly, the end of many bad habits too! Stodgy food, too many takeaways, very little or no exercise- all because it's been "too cold". Spring can bring all kinds of new fitness goals as well as the warmer climate, from wanting to start running/ entering races to simply wanting to get in shape for Summer.
It's sometimes just knowing where to begin? You could start by making a brand new manageable plan which fits into your lifestyle by jotting down a few things to motivate you... Your aims, the habits you need to change, what kind of exercises you enjoy (or at least don't mind!). Many new classes begin in Spring (even us instructors like to hibernate a little over Winter!), why not see if there are any new or existing classes in your local area you'd like to try. You could spring clean your fitness wardrobe to, a nice new pair of trainers and/or fitness clothes can be very motivating. After all, there's no point having new clothes if you've nowhere to wear them!
As for the eating it's time to say bye bye to carb loaded winter foods and to say hello to yummy light dishes instead. Check out this link for inspiration:
