Kick-Start Your 2012 Fitness Goals at Midtown
Member blogger Kathleen Hermann reflects on the fresh beginnings a new year brings and how Midtown can help you achieve your 2012 fitness goals.
While I haven't set New Year's resolutions for years, I periodically take stock of where things are and where I'd like things to go. As adults, we feel that twinge of time passing. There is always more we want to experience and accomplish. New Year's is momentous as it reminds us of the value of time. It is a point to remind ourselves that there is never a better time to act than the present. Whether your fitness goals for yourself are to walk a mile or to establish a new personal best in the marathon, the club has the necessary tools for success.
These tools come in the form of the facility itself, and also in the form of the network of people and professionals that work within it. If 2012 is your year to finally achieve well-rounded fitness, you have unlimited options at Midtown. Maybe you have a great physique and excel at swimming and cycling, but still find yourself often stressed and hurried. Try expanding into the peaceful, regenerative world of yoga and meditation.
Perhaps you love the inner strength yoga has added to your life, but still find yourself slowed by extra weight. Try adding a cardio class to your routine. Need help getting started? The club has a packed January schedule filled with events and classes specifically designed to help you kick-start all your goals. Pick something that works for you and mark it on your calendar!
