In Good Health
I’m writing this in January, the month infamous for setting resolutions often revolving around improving health: to exercise more, to lose weight. You know the ones. Setting lofty goals can sometimes be a daunting deterrent though. Instead, I’d encourage you to bite off manageable pieces and to center health-related goals around things you enjoy — a fun sport versus logging hours at the gym if that’s not your thing.
In this month’s Health and Wellness issue, we hope you’ll discover one thing (or more!) that improves your health in some way. It could be putting the first foot forward and starting a running routine. There are lots of places — and people — to support that right here in Berks. Just flip to page 22 to learn more. Intrigued by the ever-popular sport of pickleball? We have a rundown for what you need to know on page 34.
Maybe a variety of fun fitness classes and mixing things up is more your speed. From boxing to Pilates, yoga to spin, we have local options for you to explore on page 11.
Also in this month’s issue, we look to inspire you to do something special with a bonus space in your home (see page 36). Whether your dream is to build a library, an arts and crafts space or something else altogether, having a place where you can do something you love is a wonderful way to boost your mental health.
