You probably know it: the feeling of 'I'll start on January 1'. So that bag of truffle kruidnoten is fine, and that oliebol, a test dessert, the last piece of chocolate letter... Because in the new year you start with a clean slate and you will work out really hard! Yup, it's a common practice to put off resolutions until the new year, but why wait? Why not start now, in mid-November? Here are some very good reasons why this is the perfect time to take the first step towards a healthier and happier life.
Avoid the New Year's rush
Why wait until January 1st to hit the gym and pursue your health goals? In November the gym is definitely less busy and you can quietly get used to your new routine. This way you are much less likely to be discouraged. No long lines for the treadmill and no battle for the weights - now is your time!

Enjoy the autumn air
November provides a beautiful backdrop for outdoor activities. The autumn air is fresh and invigorating, and the colorful leaves make every walk or run a visual feast. Take advantage of the season and make exercise not only good for your body, but also for your mind. Buy a good Hunkemöller sports bra and go!

Develop healthy habits before the holidays
The holidays are just around the corner and we all know how tempting it is to treat yourself to treats. Starting in November gives you a chance to develop healthy habits before the holidays hit. You will find that you are more resistant to temptation and remain motivated to take care of yourself. Enjoyment is of course allowed, but unhealthy bunkering until you can roll home doesn't make anyone happy.
