Happy New Year! How are the resolutions going? If you need a way to remain true to your New Year aspirations, consider making a hobby out of them! January is National Hobby Month and I’m going to explore potential hobbies that will boost your resolutions and make them easy to keep.
If your focus is health and fitness, why not try something unconventional that incorporates your love of style such a stiletto workout class or burlesque dancing? Both activities are guaranteed to get your heart rate up, tone your body and make you feel sexy! If you’d like a bit more action and adventure, consider Derby Lite or a Piloxing class. Derby Lite is a great workout because you get the health benefits of a roller derby game minus the bruises. Piloxing combines the toning values of Pilates with the cardio intensity of boxing. Check out fitness centers and dance studios in your area for additional details.
Did you promise to keep your finances in check? You may find yourself becoming a money saving guru! Start by visiting your local book store or browsing various money saving communities online.
