10 Reasons Why I LOVE Yoga! 

1. It is super efficient by incorporating cardio, flexibility, and strength all in one workout
2. It can never be mastered, there is always another level
3. It is appropriate for every stage of life. I see myself practicing yoga for the rest of my life.
4. It requires presence which stops the mental chatter
5. Each session completes with a feeling of peace and over-all well being
6. It balances my body from other athletic activities and even makes me better at all the activities and sports I do
7. It heals injuries, and gives you deep muscle work that no massage therapist could ever get to the degree that you can in a pose.
8. It opens me up physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
9. It takes the “fight” out of me and I feel resilient to outside influences.
10. It has integrity and the focus is not on looking good, but FEELING GOOD.

I absolutely love efficiency and I was thrilled to learn that kettle bell training hits cardio, flexibility, and strength training all in one awesome workout. PERFECT! I was amazed by how challenging the cardio was and I will find out how sore I am tomorrow! 😉

Training indoors couldn’t have happened on a better day considering it was gloomy. We had thunder and raining throughout the day.

Today is also a holiday and many of you have the day off with family. Rather than sit down and binge on food all day, how many of you are out being active? I am considering making fitness challenges for all my typical holiday celebrations (like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc)  to get the focus off food and onto healthy fun! I am turning a new leaf on family tradition and starting my own!

Could you tell I was EXCITED to skate?

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!
