9 Easy Ways to Spring Clean Your Health

Eradicate germs and potential sickness (aka, anything that could stop you from getting to your workout!) from your life by cleaning and disinfecting the surfaces in your home. You’ll probably feel more energized when you’re done, too.

Perhaps you escaped cold and flu season unscathed. Good for you! But that doesn’t excuse you from your annual checkups. It’s important to see your doctor and check in on your health for preventative care, or for that one thing you keep putting off because it’s “not that bad” . . . yet! Better safe than sorry, right? It’s for your health, so take the time and get those appointments out of the way.

Creating a meal-prep Sunday ritual is an excellent way to organize your life and better your diet. You’ll save money, eat better, and be more mindful of your food choices. While you’re in the kitchen, throw away anything old and gross from your refrigerator and pantry — and don’t forget to wipe down surfaces and shelves on the inside, too!

While you’re cleaning out the fridge and pantry, if you know there are foods in your home that you have trouble resisting, go by the “out of sight, out of mind” policy and give them away (or donate unopened packaged food). It’s another way of Spring cleaning your diet.

On the subject of getting rid of things, let’s clean out the workouts you hate. Stop doing the things you don’t love! If you hate yoga, try a bootcamp class. Don’t love HIIT? Maybe running or swimming is up your alley. Spring is a great time to start fresh and find what brings you joy.
