Your Fittest Year Yet?
The New Year gives us a fresh start. A chance to evaluate the year behind us, take the lessons, and craft a vision for the year ahead. In terms of our health and fitness, it is also an opportunity to begin the work of letting go of habits that no longer serve us and create new ones to move us toward the vision we have of our fittest selves; living our healthiest lives.
But why wait until the New Year to make these changes? Why not start now and hit the New Year at full speed? We still have 3 weeks left of 2022. That is PLENTY of time to make a difference in your health.
