Although the weather is still screaming winter, today is the first day of spring! As defined in Wikipedia, "spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime .... The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring."
The first day of spring is also a perfect opportunity for us to clean up our health and fitness, preparing us for the summer months of little t-shirts, shorts and bikinis! As you spring clean your house, getting rid of the junk and reorganizing, spring clean your diet and exercise routine too! If you don't currently workout out, start now. If you only exercise once or twice a week, increase it to three times a week. If you already exercise regularly but feel like you are in a rut, try something different. Instead of using the ellyptical go for a run or mix it up by taking a class; yoga, boxing or boot camp. Take the time this Spring to evaluate your diet and fitness regiment - clean it up!
