5 Ways to LEAP to Health and Fitness

It's Leap Day! Sometimes I wonder how the idea for what to do with those 6 extra hours per year came about... must have been a very creative astronomer! (Edited: I got too curious and looked it up: Julius Caesar's astronomer, Sosigenes, gets credit for the idea.)

Here are five ways to use this special day to make progress toward your health and fitness goals.

#1 Try a new group exercise class! Leap Day doesn't come around very often, make it a great day by trying something new. Need ideas? Here are reviews of piloxing, doonya, clubbercise, and bokwa!

#2 Take a class with a new instructor! Not quite ready for a new format? Change things up with a different teacher to get different choreography and moves.

#3 Go the extra mile! Push yourself to do 10 extra squats or stay on the treadmill for a few more minutes.

#4 Treat yourself! Use the extra day to get a pedicure, take a bath, or have some quiet time.

#5 Get some ZZZs! What better way to use extra time than to catch up on much needed sleep?

Happy Leap Day!

  1. I actually decided early this morning instead of seizing this extra day to do more – – I'm going to do less. Less work. Less brainstorming. Less focus. More relaxing more daydreaming more… Unfocused :-) it's the gift of 24 hours

  2. I definitely used today to treat myself! I went out for coffee and dessert with my friend and have no regrets about the calories I consumed. It was lovely!

  3. There's a saying according to which you get exactly as much as you are willing to pay. While this is not always true, it can be said that budget trampolines, while much cheaper than most of the trampolines from the other two categories, are not generally good for long term use.
