Spring is really in full swing now and it feels great. Sure, in Jersey, we get hit-or-miss weather (so do most places). However, we’ve had a few really Spring-like days here and it’s so nice. Soon the weather will heat up and it’ll be time to head to the beach or spend the day by the pool. Of course, you’ll want to look and feel your best, so let’s take a look at 5 great ways to Shape Up this Spring in Jersey.
Let me start by stating that I am not a doctor. Actually, I know so little about the medical field that it bears repeating – I am not a doctor. So if you are going to take any of my ideas for getting in better shape and put them to use, I ask that you check with your doctor first! And remember that no matter what you do to try and get healthier, take it slow. If you’re like me, you want immediate results. But unfortunately, that’s not usually how it works. It takes time. Be okay with that and you won’t get discouraged.
What I’m listing below are only a few of the ways you can get in shape or more fit. Keep in mind that here in Jersey we have so much for you to do and try and the possibilities of finding some good, healthy activities are almost endless.
Whether you are into being outdoors or staying in the air conditioning, there really is something for almost everyone. Keep in mind though – it is Spring, so you really should take advantage of that warmer, pleasant weather. I mean, you’ve been cooped up inside your house for the past several months, so why not get out and enjoy something fun?!
Below, let’s take a look at 5 great ways to shape up this Spring in Jersey.
DANCE
You can take dance lessons at a local school. You can do a dance workout at home or much simpler…..turn up the tunes in your house and get wild. It will release endorphins and although you may look silly it has some great benefits.

WINDOW SHOP OR SHOP
You can take a stroll through the mall. Maybe head to your downtown area and walk a few blocks while browsing. Or park far away as you actually shop some stores!
