Follow me on:

If your family is feeling unfit or unmotivated (too much corned beef?), try a new activity today. Often a small change is enough to jump-start your motivation and get you excited about exercise again. How about:

  • Taking a walk or run in a new place, or swapping your sneakers for a bike or in-line skates
  • Asking a friend (or your child!) to teach you his or her favorite workout
  • Sampling a new class at your gym, community center, yoga studio, or martial arts dojo (many facilities offer free trials)
  • Borrowing a new exercise video from your library or video store (I tried Billy Blanks Jr.'s Cardioke the other day and it was a riot!)
  • Planning an active family outing: swimming, skating, bowling, golfing

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
