This new year health challenge is here to help you begin the year right, ready to meet your weight and fitness goals! So many often try to hit the new year hard, and I get that, but I like the notion of starting things off with slow purpose.
It’s about being intentional. Paying attention to our health every day. Making good choices. Considering new options. This is a long game, not a sprint!
The one addition to this list is to get up and move everyday. I’m not saying exercise, I’m saying do something with movement. Maybe it’s playing a game of Just Dance with your kids, maybe it’s a walk with your dog around the block, heck maybe it’s making 4 trips up and down your stairs!
Just make sure to get your heart pumping every day.
This would be a great time to do the 30 Day Declutter Challenge or the 30 Day Happiness Challenge!
