Can you feel spring in the air?! 

We hope that where you live, April showers brought you beautiful May flowers!

The air is warming up, the days are getting longer and we’re spending more time outside. Many of us have taken to planting our summer garden, and looking forward to how wonderful it feels to grow and enjoy homegrown produce and flowers.

As we make our way into the summer months, many of us have vacations on our mind which can be an emotional combination of total opposites; excitement and dread. Excitement for a new adventure ahead and dread for not being physically prepared for your summer adventure. ☺ ☹

The great news is that you still have time to create change to ensure you’re in a good place physically for your summer adventures. Since it’s only May, you still have enough time to improve your endurance for walking, hiking, boating, water-sports and anything else that might present you with a physical challenge today.  You might also not like the way you look in your summer “uniform,” of shorts, tank tops and a bathing suit.  Again, you have enough time to turn that around! 

The Spring ’21 Balanced Habits™ Balanced Habits™ 4-Week Program starts this month and provides exactly what it takes to get your body in tip-top shape for whatever your summer plans call for!  You’ll find this effective and proven 28-day plan to be complete with cardio opportunities, to help burn off lots of extra calories, and educational by teaching practical and effective strategies that will surely get your body ready for that summer “uniform” and any physical adventure that awaits!
