Okay, here it is. February 14th, Valentine’s Day. A day to show your appreciation for your loved ones. But that does not mean you get to sit home and munch on hundreds and hundreds of calories in chocolate! Make healthy choices like strawberries, without the chocolate, or splurge on a dinner that you wouldn’t usually make at home. Choose grilled chicken and fresh vegetables with candles and a small glass of wine. Spend time in the kitchen together preparing your meal, enjoy it together, and save the dishes until tomorrow. Some quiet time with friends or significant other will be much more romantic and mean more than the extra calories that will be much more difficult to work back off. With February being Heart Healthy month, add a few cardio classes, an extra mile on the treadmill or 10 min on the elliptical and really start to build up your cardio endurance!
Finally, Best Fitness is having two open houses, February 18th and 23rd, and we welcome you to bring your family and friends to Fall in Love with Fitness! Anyone is also welcome to try any of our group exercise classes for free including: P90X, TRX, Cycling, Body Pump, Body Combat, Zumba and more!
