I haven't exercised in well over a week. Matt and I checked out the gym that was free to hotel guests when we were on vacation as well as hiked over 4 miles to the beach and back. I went on an hour walk with Ava both days this weekend. That counts... right?
Which makes me pose the question, "Why do we feel that we have to do an hour of cardio, yoga, weight lifting, etc everyday to count?"
I feel that sometimes we get in a rut with exercise because, quite frankly, it can be boring and the least exciting thing to do on your list.
So I challenge everyone to do a week of "fun" exercise! Take your kids (or dogs) on a fun walk around the neighborhood. Point out houses you like along the way and talk about interesting animal (birds, etc) that you see along the way. If you live near hiking trails, throw on some tennis shoes and explore the outdoor world! Take the time to get in the all important exercise, but at a pace that's fun and exciting and having you ask yourself, "I've already been doing this for an hour?!?"
You'll be amazed at how fast, and FUN, exercise can be!

You are inspiring me, sista! I already feel like I'm gaining weight due to all the yummy candy and snacks and stuff at work. BUT yesterday I signed up for my FREE membership at the Sony gym, and I'm ready to get my butt in gear!
