Why September is the most important month for your health & fitness

 What’s the most important month for personal health and fitness?

If you answered January, you made an easy mistake. Most people think about New Year’s Resolutions to hit the gym and eat better.

But the real answer is: September. We’re entering the period – between now and the end of the year – when you still have time to meet your goals for 2021, and when you can make some moves that will determine the probability of your long-term success. 

Let’s get you ready to go and set with these fun facts about Spring (for those in the southern hemisphere) – and some points on making the most of it.

• Daylight. We are starting to get more in the morning and evenings. So more light is more opportunity to go for a run or a walk, and it’s warming up a little too which certainly helps. 
• Plan ahead. Enter your workouts on your schedule. Meal prep for a few days or a week. Organize your stuff each night for the next day.
• Watch the new growth of Spring. September brings opportunities to reflect, as we transition from winter into spring with new growth around us everywhere. So, take a moment to appreciate your surroundings, be grateful, and give yourself some encouragement.
• Hold onto your values. Remember why you started, and why you’re working so hard. Is it to express self-care? To look better, move better, or feel better? Whatever it is, keep that motivation top of mind.
• It’s a jump start. While others are putting it off until January, you can be continuing to work toward your current goals – and already be planning all the ways you’re going to kill it in 2022!
• Get involved. September is Healthy Aging Month and home to Family Health & Fitness Day USA, and National Women’s Health and Fitness Day.

I hope you take these weeks to set yourself up for success in the rest of 2021. But don’t forget that stumbles are part of the process – and you’ve got to enjoy the journey.

I know you can do it!
