Just checking in — how’s the New Year’s resolution going? According to WalletHub, Kansas City ranks No. 79 on its list of best cities at keeping their resolutions, but we’re determined to reach our goals.
Don’t worry if you’ve lost momentum. We’re going to take a look at some of the most common resolutions and offer some tips to stay on track, just in case you need some local inspiration.
Exercise more
KC is packed with ways to get active and stay moving. If you need some ideas, you could start by checking our guide to local gyms and trying a new fitness class. You could also try out a new sport or activity like biking, yoga, or a running club.
Save money
Next time you’re making plans, think free. Kansas City has many no-cost activities around the city including tours, libraries, museums, and parks. We also like to explore the city’s flavors without breaking the bank by visiting restaurants with meals under $10.
Eat healthier
Shopping at a local farmers market is a great way to incorporate more fruits + vegetables into your diet — you could even find recipes centered on the ingredients you’ve purchased. If you’ve ever considered meatless Mondays or a plant-based diet, our guide to vegetarian and vegan restaurants will help you find new places to try.
Spend time with friends
The first step to spending more time with your BFFs is to make plans. We recommend a brunch outing at one of the city’s best restaurants for a midday meal, heading out for a hike, or meeting up for happy hour. If your best friend has four legs, explore these local dog-friendly spots.
Spend more time with family
Kids love Kansas City, and the city is packed with kid-friendly activities and museums that appeal to all ages. We also recommend staying up to date with our monthly plan ahead so you know the biggest events in the city, many of which are family-friendly.
