Mid-Year Motivation: 5 Health And Fitness Programs To Kickstart The Second Half Of 2017

Bring out the oranges; it’s half time.
But seriously, we’re midway through the year and whether you’ve been hitting home runs all 2017 … or warming the bench, it’s time to take a break and reflect.
If you’re a glass half full kind of person, you’re probably looking back on what’s been and excited for what’s still to come. If not, you may be on the cusp of a mid-year crisis. Don’t panic. No matter what side you reside on, now is a good moment to check back in with yourself, reassess your goals and refresh.
Motivation may be lacking this time of year so to give you a helping hand, we’ve rounded up five health programs to kickstart the second half of 2017. Whether you’d like to focus on your fitness, cleanse your body or balance your mind, there’s a program for you.

When: 24^th July – 17^th September.
Cost: Free without training. Approx. $65 including F45 access.
One F45 session is a challenge. Eight weeks of them is torcher. But if it’s results you’re after, you’ll achieve them with this. The program provides meal plans and workouts, and education around both. It allows you to track your progress online and gives you access to a wonderful community, which is one of the biggest reasons it’s so successful. If you want to lose weight or get fit, quick, you can’t go wrong with the F45 8-week Challenge and while it’s gruelling to start, most people get pretty hooked by the end.

When: 10^th July – 6th August.
Cost: $79.
We track our fitness levels all the time. We measure how much weight we lose, how fast we run and how heavy we lift but rarely do we quantify our mental fitness. The Transformation Project is a four-week study that seeks to measure the impact of regular, integrated practice of yoga, Pilates and meditation on people’s lives. Each week will explore a different component of wellness (body, mind, relationships and purpose) and will allow for self reflection. It provides unlimited access to all BodyMindLife studios, online tutorials and on-demand video workshops—which include practical instruction in Pranayama, meditation and nutrition—and access to the BML community. The program is a commitment to your inner and outer wellbeing, appropriate for all levels of experience.
