What’s Next?

You've put a lot of work into your weight loss over the last few months!

You've set your new weight loss or sustain goal! Now, what's next for you?

Here are some ideas:

Join a local sports league to add activity to your schedule. Play tennis, play pick-up basketball, or join a walking club.
Try something totally new! Go to a yoga class, try a swim workout, or go for a bike ride or spin class!
Think about signing up for a 5K race a few months from now and plan to train for it!

What's a 5K?

A 5K is running (or mixing walking and running) 3.1 miles. Many local communities have casual 5K races throughout the year.
A 5K is a great goal if you haven't done much running before. You can train over 3 months and get your body ready for it. You'll be surprised at what you can do!
A 5K training program includes progression and rest days. Progression refers to the running goals you'll gradually build up to. Rest days are days that you allow your muscles and joints to rest. Maybe stretch instead.

Training for a 5K gives you a reason to stick to a 9-week exercise schedule!
Running reduces your risk of chronic illness, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. It boosts your mood and keeps your weight under control.
