With spring on the way (finally!) your thoughts are turning to warmer days, less clothing and—naturally—how your body is looking after being a slug all winter. It’s time to start planning a “Get Fit” campaign that can have you back in shape in time for summer.

The Benefits of Exercise

Few things offer as many benefits as increasing your level of physical activity. It’s not only valuable for controlling your weight and boosting your muscle tone, it also helps you to:

• Combat health conditions and diseases
• Improve your mood
• Boost your energy
• Promotes better sleep
• Puts the “zing” back into your sex life
• Exercising can also be fun, depending on what form of activity you choose

The Secret to Getting Fit

The secret to making exercise work for you is, quite simply, doing it. Regularly. This can be difficult at any time of the year, but it’s a lot harder to do when you’re out of shape and the weather is still chilly.

Teaming up with others who have similar goals is a good way to help everyone achieve their objectives. But what happens if you don’t know anyone who is into exercising regularly, or whose time corresponds with yours well enough to make it a joint effort? Join a boot camp, of course!

Here are some of the best places to get fit in Sugar Land this spring!

Your Local YMCA

YMCAs all over the country offer a range of classes for all levels of fitness, and you can get group or personal training and help. The group classes work well because:

• You feel more accountable, and when you don’t show up your instructor and classmates will be the first to notice
• Having a qualified instructor means you do the exercises correctly, so you get the maximum benefit
• In a group setting, you’ll be encouraged to push and challenge yourself more than if you exercise alone
• You’ll have more fun, make friends and help motivate each other in a social environment.
• You can sign up for membership of your nearest branch of the YMCA of Greater Houston, get personalized advice and access to all the facilities you need to get fit over the coming months.

Adventure Boot Camp

There’s nothing like a little adventure to get your blood flowing and your heart singing. The Southwest Houston Adventure Boot Camp meets every Tuesday and Thursday at 5 am (yes, you read that right!) at the Lost Creek Park in Sugarland. Under the direction of Stacy Agee, you’ll spend an hour working out in the natural beauty surrounding you.

Organizers say you can expect a 3% to 5% reduction in body fat, an increase in strength and improved endurance, among other benefits. There’s even a test at the end for those who want to measure their progress. Click here for more details and to register for the camp.
