January 9 is when most New Year's resolutions fall apart. Here's why yours doesn't have to.

National Quitters Day is today, the point in January when most New Year's resolutions start to crumble. If your healthy habits are already wobbling, you're not alone—but you also don't have to give up.

The American Heart Association emphasizes that community support is one of the most powerful tools for sustaining healthy habits. And here in Riverside, you've got plenty of options to keep your momentum going.

The City's Spring 2026 Activity Guide offers affordable ways to stay active. Riverside Front Runners and Walkers just released their January calendar. Community Yoga Initiative welcomes everyone, regardless of experience. Blue Zones Riverside is hosting purpose workshops. And Farmhouse Collective offers free healthy activities on select Fridays, including Morning Mobility (Jan. 16 and 30) and Yoga (Jan. 23).

This is just a handful of opportunities, check our community calendar for more. And if you know of other healthy resources fellow Riversiders should know about, comment on our social media and share them.

Your January 1 self had good instincts. Those goals still matter. And you don't have to do this alone—not when your city is full of people ready to move, sweat, and grow right alongside you.
