It’s spring! And you know what that means? Say good-bye to feeling stuck indoors! For me, the warmer weather is such a motivating factor to being more physically active. Since the sunny days are so enjoyable, it’s much easier to be active outdoors without feeling like you’re exercising.
When ACTIVE meets FUN, that’s where you’ll find me. We all want to be our healthiest, but let’s face it, exercise can sometimes feel like something we’re forced to do, rather than something we look forward to doing. When was the last time you kept up with an exercise routine that you hated? It’s so difficult to do! It’s a lot easier to stick to being active when you’re enjoying the process.
One of my favourite parts about spring is the countless fun and simple ways we can be active outdoors. The possibilities are endless!
