Why September is the Perfect Month to Boost Your Fitness Progress

Why You Should Start Fitness Goals in September

As we transition from the lazy, hazy days of summer into the crisp, structured routines of September, it's the perfect time to refocus on our fitness goals. September is not just a month; it's a mindset. It's a chance to harness the energy of a fresh start and make significant strides in our wellness journey. Let me share why this month is ideal for setting or renewing your fitness goals and how Inclusive Movement can support you on this path.

The September Reset: A New Beginning

September often feels like a second January. It's a time when routines are re-established, and there's a collective return to order. For many of us, this means juggling work, family, and personal commitments. The transition from summer's relaxed pace to a more structured schedule provides an excellent opportunity to incorporate new habits, including fitness routines. 

Why wait until the New Year to make resolutions when September offers a clean slate? The change in seasons naturally encourages reflection and planning. Consider asking yourself:

• What is currently working for me in terms of my fitness goals?
• What fitness objectives do I want to focus on in the coming months?
• What have I yet to achieve this year that I wish to start now?

The Fresh Start Effect

The "fresh start effect" is a psychological phenomenon where people are more motivated to pursue goals following temporal landmarks, such as the start of a new month or season. Research shows that September, with its back-to-school vibe, is a powerful time for self-improvement. It's a time when many of us are rested and re-energized from summer vacations, making it easier to kickstart new routines. 

Moreover, the concept of the "12-week year," popularized by productivity experts, suggests breaking down long-term goals into manageable 12-week cycles. September is perfect for this approach, allowing you to set achievable goals and see tangible progress by the end of the year.

Overcoming Summer's Distractions

Summer often brings delightful distractions—tasty food, sugary or alcoholic drinks, and a break from routine with longer days and vacations. While these are enjoyable, they can sometimes derail our fitness goals. September is an ideal time to refocus and shed those summer habits that might not align with our wellness objectives. It's about finding balance and integrating fitness into our daily lives in a sustainable way.
