Try Something New
Feeling in a rut? Rev up your fitness routine with something new. Beyond the typical “joining a gym”, new classes or activities can motivate and inspire you to get into shape or revive a lagging attitude. Aerial classes, dance, pilates, yoga, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), or martial arts could be the spark to get you going. Locally, check out Orangetheory in Farmington Hills, Yoga Six in West Bloomfield, or Warrior Way in Walled Lake.
Treat Yourself
Sometimes the element that is missing between your intentions and your actions is feeling good. Treat yourself to new workout apparel, shoes, or curate a fresh playlist that really gets you moving. Wearable fitness devices can provide the feedback you need to push yourself to the next level, or help you coordinate your healthy eating and workout goals. Stop by Gazelle Sports in Birmingham, Fleet Feet in West Bloomfield, or Athleta in Troy for what you need.
Get Outside
Just because it’s winter in Michigan, that doesn’t mean you need to keep your workouts indoors. Fresh air and sunlight do wonders for your mood and are a great antidote for feeling cooped up on gray, snowy days. Remember—it’s just a matter of wearing the right clothing! Get out for a walk, snowshoe through the park, or invest in a fat tire bike and laugh at the weather. Visit Marshbank Park, West Bloomfield Trail, or Kensington Metro Park in Milford for winter fitness fun.
