Spring is here, making it the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and start moving. Novant Health has expert advice to help you make the most of the season — whether you’re getting back into a fitness routine, finding ways to move without joint pain, or making smarter choices in the kitchen.
Start small to build confidence at the gym

Ease into it by learning a few basic exercises, choosing a gym that feels welcoming, and setting realistic goals. The more consistent you are, the more comfortable and confident you’ll feel.
Fuel your body with energizing meals
