“August Challenge” Try Something New-Find a New YOU!
The summer is winding down, last minute vacations are being enjoyed and school is getting ready to start. But wait! It’s only the beginning... we’re on our way to a new adventure to “Try Something New and Find a New YOU”! Do you wake up each morning, head to the gym bright and early, yes-with a smile on your face, and move your body to healthiness? That is fantastic! Are you in a routine and getting bored, need a little change? Fabulous!
Our challenge for August is to try something new. So this is what we all need to do to get started. Pull out your planner and pick 1 day per week at minimum. Schedule it as the “New ME Day”. The time depends on which activity you choose. Once you schedule it in, commit to it, don’t change your schedule. Keep this going indefinitely. It will recharge you and the end result of trying something new? You’ll find new things to enjoy in your life and find a new YOU!
1. Hiking. How long has it been since you’ve hiked up a new hill? There is so much to see and it’s such good exercise. Take lots of water and a partner.
2. Bike Riding. Get you a gel seat (so much better for the tush). Pick a destination, the mountains, the beach, the lake, or wherever your heart desires. We like to ride as a family and take my little girl to see the horses at the local equestrian center.
3. Marathon. Have you always wanted to enter into a marathon? It does take proper training, so get yourself geared up and set that as a goal. Start with a 5K and move forward. You’ll take pride in your accomplishment.
4. Walk-a-thon. Take part in a purpose. Check your local charities. American Diabetes Foundation. American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, etc. There are so many. You’ll be walking fit with a cause. What a great feeling that is.
5. Dancing. Take a dance class. My goal this month is to join the Mommy and Me dance class with my little girl. That should be fun. I may have two left feet, but I’m up for the challenge.
6. Tai Kwon Do, Karate, or other martial arts. This is great exercise. Set up a trial session. You may just find that you’ll absolutely love it.
7. Tennis or Racquetball. Take a class or play again if it’s been a while.
8. Rowboat. Go to the lake and rent a rowboat. Row across the lake and back.
9. Swimming. Jump in with a splash and swim laps. Set a goal for yourself and beat your time.
10. Destination ME. Pick a place you want so badly to go. Hawaii, Europe, The Bahamas, a visit to see Mom and Dad. How many miles will it take you to get there? Set a goal to walk, jog, run, bike, or swim that many miles. When you reach your goal. Take yourself there.
