Old habits die hard, and once again as September pops up on my calendar, new projects spring to mind. I love the cooling breezes, the shrug of my jacket, and the boundless energy that seems to well up this time every year.
Most of my September projects are successful. I can schedule time, and my little guy is back in school and having his own rush of productivity, so there’s lots of opportunity to get stuff done.
Career projects are crucial, of course, but you can do some personal spiffing as well: a new sport, a new exercise regime, some new fitness gear, and a whole new attitude.

Pick something fun
Don’t choose an activity that will just be a slog to you. Think about a type of exercise or sport that you’ve always wanted to try, then take a deep breath and do it! There is no law that says you can’t have fun while you get fit.
Pick something hard
Test yourself a bit; stretch … and see how far your body will go. Push yourself a little bit (just a little bit) beyond your reach and see if you can get there. You’ll have to work at it, plan how you’ll get there, and maybe get some coaching; all of these activities will stimulate your brain and your body and keep you engaged in that thing called life!
Do it with friends
Include your friends on your fitness journey. Find some like-minded individuals to play with. You can cross the finish line together or boogie and giggle in the back of the dance class. You’ll be deepening relationships and expanding the sphere of people you know who are living healthy lifestyles—both keys to longevity.
So what do you want to do this September? What fitness tweak or adventure would you like to take? Share it with us; we’d love to hear.

My husband and I have started working out together. We walk several times a week, and are considering joining a gym. It is great for us to do for our bodies, our health and our relationship!

When life throws you off balance
Walking together is awesome. My wife and I love walking the paths around our house in the evenings. It is such a great time to decompress, talk about the day, enjoy each other, and get some exercise.
Living in Colorado, we also have enjoyed getting out hiking. Just a bit more adventurous than the neighborhood walks, but all the same benefits.
i’ve started jogging with my puppy! it definitely is more joy
i’ve also started Nia dance classes, its fun, and it doesn’t matter how ugly I dance its a good workout!

I’m already getting excited for snowboarding season to start. That means more leg and core training to get in shape so my mind doesn’t outlast my body on those first days of the season.
obviously like yourr web sitfe but you need to take a look
at the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them aare rife with
spelling issues annd I in finding it very troublesome to inform thhe reality on the other hand I’ll certainly come again again.
