5 Ways to Get Moving in the New Year Without a Gym Membership

By Kristen Corbett, Publisher Mom, Macaroni Kid Frankfort-Georgetown January 5, 2019

Who's excited for 2019? I have adopted the goal line "Lean and Clean in Twenty Nineteen" for myself and I am excited for all that this year has to offer. Last year was one full of changes for my family and with change comes uprooting of habits and the need to develop new routines. That being said, as we settle into our new home and routines, it is definitely time to start getting back into some habits that have fallen to the wayside. 

One of my biggest goals this year is to get out and get moving again. For some reason this seems like such an easy habit to fall out of, and such a hard habit to get back into. I'm ready to go though. Here are a few ideas if this is one of your goals too! 

1. Get out and walk. I signed up for a team challenge through 99 Walks and I'm loving it. January is almost sold out, but there is always February! Make sure to read our article 10 Fun Facts About Walking.

2. Do a Couch to 5K program. I fell in love with the C25K app because you can literally start from scratch and in 8 weeks be ready for a 5K. Start this week to be ready for the The Lucky Leprechaun 5K in Versailles on March 9th! Did I mention that it's free?!

3. Head out to meet the amazing mamas at Stroller Strides through FIT4MOM Lexington . Your first class is FREE! I LOVE this program because I can bring my son with me. The moms are so inviting and you are able to work out at your level. There are always modifications and an emphasis on respecting where your mom-bod is in its journey and listening to it. 

4. Don't want to leave the house? Check out the FREE Betty Rocker program Make Fat Cry 30-Day Challenge. She sends a 15 minute workout to your email daily so you can do them in the comfort of your own home with no equipment needed!

5. Check out our article on how to Start Moving With Your Family.
