We were having so much fun…..until…..my big toes were getting jammed in my daughter’s skates causing major discomfort. It’s time for me to get a pair of my own skates, because I can see myself doing this on a more consistent basis.
Why Rollerskate?
Rollerskating is PERFECT cardio and super great because you don’t get the heavy impact on the joints.
According to a study conducted at the University of Massachusetts, in-line skating causes less than 50 percent of the impact shock to joints compared to running.
So, if you are someone who says you can’t get your cardio in because of your joints you may want to try this.
Not only is it super FUN, but it gets you outdoors and in the fresh air and sunlight. You’ll strengthen your heart, improve your coordination and balance, not to mention you’ll get a ridiculously sexy lower body!
Skating anyone? 🙂
Today’s Workout:
60 min Zumba Class
Rollerskating – maybe 30 min or so until my toes were hurtin’ for certain!

I am officially kicking it off today which is, September 1st here on LifebyLori.com, but if you catch this post afterwards, please feel free to jump in and join anytime!
Why I’m Doing a Fitness Challenge
Feel good emotionally- boosts endorphins which means I am more pleasurable to be around. I just beam good vibes!
Feel good physically- clears out aches and pains and gives integrity to the structure of the body
Feel mentally clear & able to focus- the increased blood flow is going to the brain that stimulates mental function, because I am fully engaged in my workout my mind has to get off it’s little hamster wheel of repetitive thoughts to focus in what I am doing.
This builds mental muscles of attention, focus, and presence.
30 days is just long enough to stay focused and to get in the routine of establishing healthy habits
Involving community helps me stay accountable
Doing a challenge with others is fun
It gives us a reason to come together

I recently watched this on the documentary “Dirt”. BTW, if you have not watched it yet. Find it on Netflix! My kids and I loved it. A nice little surprise was to see Gary Vaynerchuk in it too. I was so touched that I wanted to share it with you and see if it inspires you to be a hummingbird too!
