To kickstart your exercise resolution, consider joining a run club like North End Run Club or meet up at one hosted by a local brewery like Vibrant Shore Brewing or Commonwealth. Alternatively, try an indoor cycling class at Swell Cycling. For a more adventurous approach, delve into aerial arts at VB Aerial Arts. Remember to set realistic goals, find a workout buddy, and choose activities you enjoy. Consistency is key, so don't let occasional setbacks derail your progress.

 

Looking to explore new hobbies? Unleash your creativity with an art class at Virginia MOCA, or work on your baking skills with a cooking class at Yorkie's or a Macarons workshop at Cafe Genevieve. Both offer a fun and engaging experience for beginners! If you're a mom looking to connect with other moms while trying new things, be sure to check out Moms Night Out!

 

Get outdoors and reconnect with nature! Explore the stunning beauty of First Landing State Park with its diverse ecosystems and miles of trails. Don't want to walk alone? Ladies can follow City Girls Walk and join in their weekly walks around Hampton Roads. For a truly unforgettable experience, join Rudee Tours for a whale watching adventure. Witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat and create memories that will last a lifetime.

 

During Dry January, indulge in refreshing mocktails at vibrant spots like Voodoo Brewing, known for its craft beers and creative non-alcoholic concoctions, or Tulu at the Oceanfront, where you can savor inventive drinks while enjoying the ocean breeze. These establishments prove that social outings can be just as enjoyable without alcohol, allowing you to stay committed to your health goals while still having a fantastic time.

 

To fulfill your New Year's resolution to read more, start by browsing the latest bestsellers at Read Books VB or discovering hidden gems at the Book Exchange. Afterward, cozy up with your new finds at a charming local cafe like Colattao or Corduroy, where you can enjoy a quiet atmosphere and savor the joy of reading.

 

If your resolution is to give back to your community and make a difference, volunteering is a rewarding way to learn new skills, meet new people, and support causes you care about. The Virginia Aquarium offers diverse volunteer opportunities, from educating guests to assisting with animal care, while the VBSPCA welcomes volunteers to help with animal socialization, adoption events, and administrative tasks. Both organizations provide training and support, making it easy to find the perfect volunteer role for you.
