Welcome back to The New Healthier You Fitness Plan. On day 6 of each week, we’ll focus on moving in a fun, freeing way.

We get so caught up in “serious” exercise when we’re focused on our goals, but having fun is a key component to any successful fitness plan. If you aren’t enjoying yourself at least some of the time, it’s hard to stick with a program over the long term—and we all know that consistency is the key to seeing results.

That’s why all I want you to focus on for today is getting moving and having FUN! Forget about how many calories you’re burning, and simply get out and have a great time. Schedule a date with a friend to learn how to swing on the trapeze, or take the kids ice skating. The more you are moving and laughing (or at least smiling), the better!

Need some more ideas to get you started? How about:

Tell me, what kind of fun did you have today with movement? Leave me a comment below and let us know what you did to get moving and smiling today!
