March Winds – What’s Blowing Our Way

It’s March and what can you expect from the Fitness Blog this month? Well, we’ve got a lot on our plate and let me give you a preview of what you can expect this month:

  • Change Your Habits in Five Days Challenge (begins March 5)
  • Spring Forward to Action Fitness Challenge (begins March 11)
  • Spring Cleaning – Body & Mind (begins March 21)

Change Your Habits in Five Days

On Monday, March 5th, we’ll introduce our change your habits in just five days challenge. You’ll be asked to pick one habit that you indulge in daily and give it up for just five days. Whether it’s drinking coffee every morning when you get up, watching television every evening or even playing a video game. You get to pick the habit you want to change and for five days, you stop doing it totally. Observe what that change does for the time you have in the day and how you feel about the habit you change. In the long term, I’ll want to know how that habit changed for you over the month when you get to resume doing it (i.e. do you watch less television after giving it up for just five days?)

Spring Forward to Action Challenge

March 11th, we roll our clocks forward an hour here in the United States and that will be our launching pad for the Spring Forward to Action Challenge. As I am recovering from surgery, I’ll be using this as a platform to regain my strength and rebuild my endurance. We’ll start off slow and build from there.

Spring Cleaning – Body & Mind

Spring Equinox falls on March 21, this is the first day of spring and just as we like to spring clean our homes and clear out the dust and the cobwebs, we’ll focus on cleaning out our mental and physical blocks. It’s a way to rebuild our motivation and overcome any previous handicaps we may have placed on ourselves.

You’ll hear more about these challenges as we continue into the month. As always, we’ll have our Dear Heather weekly question and answer letters and more. Don’t forget that March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day and it’s a great day to break out the green and celebrate the luck of the Irish and more.

What are you looking forward to this month?
