I am allowed to be a little cheesy every once in a while so let’s SPRING INTO FITNESS and chat about ways to kick start your fitness regimen this spring! My favorite thing about spring is the weather; we can get outside for our exercise, try new things, most of which are FREE!

• Try a new local park! You can walk/run or utilize the playground equipment to build a workout! One of my favorite parks in the Kansas City area is Shawnee Mission Park. There are amazing paved trails, dirt trails, and you can even rent kayaks or paddle boards.

• Switch up your routine with your friends! Instead of grabbing drinks on the patio walk to the coffee shop down the street!

• Sign Up for a local race. This will motivate you to begin training, and allow you to support a great cause. Royals Charity is hosting a 5k in July which would give you plenty of time to train!

• Walk during your lunch hour! Bring a quick and healthy lunch and then get outside for some exercise!

• Explore a new part of the city. Walk the main street, hit up the park, and try an outdoor activity. Parkville is a great town just north of the city that is right along the river. You can take a nice walk along the river, hit a few shops on main street, and then try mini golfing!
