Spring into Fitness – How to Reset Your Routine & Build Lasting Energy

By April 1, 2025No Comments

As the snow melts and the days get longer, there’s a natural pull to refresh, renew, and re-energize. If your motivation took a hit over winter, now is the perfect time to reset your fitness routine and build energy that lasts. Here’s how to make the most of the season and create healthy habits that stick in Red Deer!

1. Declutter Your Fitness Routine

Winter might have left you feeling sluggish or stuck in a rut. A spring refresh means simplifying and focusing on what works. Ask yourself:

  • Are my workouts effective and enjoyable?
  • Am I prioritizing movement, nutrition, and recovery?
  • What’s one thing I can remove to make my routine feel easier?

Declutter unnecessary workouts, ineffective diets, or excuses. Keep it simple and sustainable!

2. Get Outside and Soak in the Benefits

There’s something energizing about exercising outdoors in Red Deer—whether it’s a morning walk through Bower Ponds, a jog in Gaetz Lakes Sanctuary, or stretching in Rotary Park. The benefits?

  • More Vitamin D → Boosts mood, supports bone health
  • Increased Oxygen Intake → Helps fight fatigue and improve focus
  • Natural Stress Relief → Nature is proven to lower cortisol levels

Try incorporating at least one outdoor workout/activity per week and feel the difference!

3. Boost Energy with Smart Nutrition

Ditch the winter comfort foods and fuel your body with seasonal, energy-boosting choices:

  • Leafy greens & berries for antioxidants (grab fresh produce from the Red Deer Farmers’ Market)
  • Lean proteins to support muscle recovery
  • Hydrating foods like cucumbers and oranges
  • Healthy carbs (quinoa, sweet potatoes) for steady energy

Pairing nutrition with proper hydration (2-3L of water per day) will help you feel more energized throughout the day.

4. Set a New Goal & Take Action Now

If you want to feel strong and confident this summer, April is the time to start. Set one simple fitness goal (ex: “work out 3x per week” or “hit 10,000 steps a day”), and start today. Small, consistent actions now will bring big results later.
