Enjoyment Leads to Commitment

If you find your workout to be pleasurable you are more likely to stick with it. To help keep your routine playful and fun, considered the following:

If the gym does nothing for you, try a team sport. You can be any skill-level and still enjoy a little competition. There are walks, runs, and races for individuals of all ages and abilities. Check out FitArlington to get dates and information on competitions in your area.
Sign up for group classes that interest you such as dance, martial arts, or yoga/pilates. For class registration, visit Arlington Parks and Recreation.
Combine a passion with a fitness activity. If you love the outdoors, try hiking in a local park (Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority). Culturally inclined, try a beginning ballet, ballroom, or modern dance class.Hoping to integrate mind and body? Go with Qigong or Tai Chi. All of the above activities are available in our area, so go out and have fun!
