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

If hitting the gym feels a little intimidating, you’re not alone. The good news: A little preparation can go a long way to make your first gym session a success.

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

Eating well plays a huge role in feeling strong and staying active. Light, nutritious meals with lean proteins, fresh veggies, and whole grains provide lasting energy without weighing you down. Need inspo? Check out these healthy + delicious recipes.

Find relief from joint pain to stay active

Aching knees and stiff joints shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the season. Whether it’s a little everyday discomfort or something that’s been bothering you for a while, Novant Health’s orthopedic experts can help you find relief and keep you moving.

Get fast care if an injury happens

Spring is the perfect time to get outside, try new activities, and push yourself — but sometimes, that can lead to unexpected injuries.

If a sprain, strain, or ache slows you down, Novant Health offers same-day and walk-in appointments for orthopedic injuries, so you can get back on your feet as soon as possible.

Spring is all about fresh starts. Why not make yours a healthy, active one? No matter where you’re starting from, Novant Health has your back every step of the way.
