3 Hobbies To Feel Fresh This Spring!
Hi everyone! One of my fun rules I have for myself is to add new hobbies to my life every season. Here are three I always come back to.. For consistency! Give them a try if you want, and share YOUR spring hobbies with me on my Facebook and Instagram!
3 Spring Hobbies
Like so many of you, I love getting outside for an easy walk and some fresh air... it's so much fun!! It's not only fun to get my steps in, but it's a great simple habit for those of us over 50 - win, win! Simply walking at a brisk pace is an easy on the joints and muscles low-impact activity, plus it gets those endorphins going so you get a mood boost, too! You can learn more ways to level up your walks and read more about the benefits of walking here! With warm sunny weather, now is the perfect time to get outside and implement daily walks into your routine. You can walk with friends and family or with a good playlist or audiobook too! I even have guided inspirational walks as part of my Vitality For Life workout routine, just pop in your headphones and go!) If you're in need of some comfy walking shoes, I got you covered! The Mel EMOVE is part of my Denise Austin line with Easy Spirit; they’re so comfy and cute, plus they come in 16 different color options too! (use code DENISEWALK to save 20%)
Another way I like to keep things fresh in the summer is by growing fresh herbs. I don't have a large yard for a big garden, so instead I am growing fresh herbs. Basil, parsley, mint, dill, and cilantro are ones I am excited to get growing and use in everything from salad dressings and cold salads to beverages (check out my blog post on how to drink less soda and more water - herbs can help!). You can grow herbs in little pots indoors wherever you have good sunlight, and fresh herbs have nutrients and vitamins, so this spring hobby is a great one to try!
Doing things that make me laugh. We can all use a hearty laugh - it's good for the soul! This spring I plan to check out a comedy club, read a funny book, and add some comedy podcasts to my rotation. I love listening to a good podcast on my walks, it makes me feel productive and keeps me learning while I get my steps in with some low-impact activity. Let me know if you have any recommendations!
Whether your spring hobbies include trying out my new Vitality For Life workout routine, visiting local parks, volunteering, or creating an herb garden do it! Newness keeps us young and vibrant!
Let's live FIT, HAPPY and HEALTHY - together!
