When people think about setting goals, they often wait until January - but is this a good move and the best time to make changes to your lifestyle?

Why September is the perfect time to restart your fitness goals

Well, the answer is, no, September is actually one of the best times of year to hit the reset button and focus on your health and fitness.

The school holidays can throw everyone's routine out the window.

Days are busy, meal times are different, and finding time for exercise can feel impossible.

But once the kids go back to school, life naturally falls back into a routine - and that's the perfect opportunity to get back on track.

Think of September as a 'mini New Year'. You don't need to wait until January to make a change.
