This time of year is when the majority of us decide it’s time to get healthy, or at minimum start to make better choices about our health. I’ve already seen a ton of posts out there guiding folks towards the best health and fitness apps and there will be a lot more how-to guidance from the health and fitness community.
The hardest aspect about living a healthier life beyond the first step is sustainability.
Without a doubt at the beginning of the year, there is a vast amount of support from many different places: local news, newspaper articles, special reports, magazine features, digital products, blog posts…I could go on and on. This helps whatever choice you have made stay front of mind, but as the year goes along, holding steady to your resolutions will become pretty darn hard.
Since diet and fitness is not our expertise 😉 we offer you a few podcasts that will help you maintain your commitment toward living a healthier lifestyle.
Why podcasts? Because they are intimate, personal, community oriented, accessible and generally produced by folks that are absolutely passionate about what they do. Who wouldn’t want that person in their corner while attempting to take control of their health?
Podcasts offer you an array of points of view that are not only about your own individual fitness and diet choices but show you a well rounded approach toward living a whole healthy life.
