Fitness New Year Proposal

People, please hold off on the fitness resolutions for January 1, 2010! Please! It is January, people! It's mid-winter Kansas, it's dark, it's cold and there's snow on ground. January is not, I repeat, is NOT, the best time to make fitness resolutions. Instead just try to accomplish some baby steps at this time. Eat a little better and move your body a little more often. Maybe try to learn something new your body can do or perhaps something it hasn't done in a while. Take the baby steps, then make a new target date for the big fitness resolutions, a new date when the weather is a little better, when the sun shines a little more and life in general makes the big fitness changes a little easier. I propose we designate a new date, perhaps April 1 (April Fool's Day), to be the official date of the Fitness New Year.
So, take those baby steps, build some confidence in your body and what you can do. Lay the groundwork for significant lifestyle fitness changes come April 1, 2010.
