Keep Your Summer Fitness Routine Well Rounded May 26, 2026 As the weather changes, you may be tempted to get outside more for hiking, bicycling, walking, running and other outdoor activities. That’s great! However, don’t neglect your mindfulness and body awareness regimens. SamFit offers yoga and Pilates classes that could enhance your overall health. Jacqueline Welter, personal trainer at SamFit, explained that mindful movement practiced in these types of classes means focusing your full attention on your body’s movements and breathing during exercise. Being mindful can enhance the enjoyment and benefits of physical activity. “Adopting this mindset can lower stress and anxiety, which often contribute to cardiovascular issues or weight gain,” Welter said. “Practicing mindfulness also helps to improve focus.” Body awareness can heighten your enjoyment of feeling good. It can provide the energy to move through yoga more easily or hold poses longer. “Waking up alert and excited about the day ahead, you can respond to the constant signals your body sends about your state of being, helping you engage more fully with the world,” she said.
