In Spring Challenges: Just One Month to Go I took a quick look at the Spring Forward to Action Challenge which will begin on March 11 (for those of you keeping track, that’s a week from tomorrow). Coach Mom: Making Up Your Game Plan is a guide for moms and dads looking for ways to promote their own fitness and their children’s fitness.

Fitness Musings: Why Do You Get Out of Bed in the Morning? and if you can answer that question, then you’ll enjoy the description of the argument I had recently. In Fitness Musings: The Hero of the Story challenges you to become your own hero in your own personal tale.

Do You Know What Perceived Exertion Is? if you don’t, be sure to check this blog out before your RPE is an important tool in your journey towards fitness and health. 20 Minutes a Day Can Change Your Life and I mean that both literally and figuratively.

Finally in March Winds – What’s Blowing Our Way we take a good look at some fitness challenges and events coming our way this March.
