Fitness Friday: And the Bass Keeps Runnin' Runnin'

Let's get it started!

HAH!

Let's get it started!

In here!

-------------------------------------------------

Sooooooooo...sorry for the lack of a fitness post last week!  You should know by now that our house has been down with the sickness.  And if you don't know, you better READ UP!

Anyway, I've actually been really proud of myself lately because I've been running!  Yes, ME!  The non-runner!  Yup, this is cause for celebration.

Okay so I only ran about 4 times in these past two weeks but hey, that's something right?  Baby steps, remember!

So, you wanna know the secret to my running success?  You do?!  Okay, here it is:

  Run after your kids.

Trust me.

Take your kids and their bikes with you and run after them while they ride.  You CANNOT get lazy chasing after kids on a bike!  You have to keep up with them in case they crash, get too far ahead, go into a dark area, etc.

This is the best type of training system EVER.

Some of you may be saying, "What about me?  I don't have kids."

Borrow some.

Did you know that there are some crazy folks out there who will pay you to borrow their kids?  It's this weird thing called babysitting.  Go figure, huh?!  So you single, non-parents can get paid to work out!  Genius.

So what about you?  Do you have any workout secrets??  Spill it!

Fitness Friday: Show Me Your Goals

Oh, hey girl, hey!

Welcome to the second Fitness Friday of 2013!

Have you been keeping on track with your fitness goals and resolutions so far?

I hope you got some inspiration and motivation from Nicole's post last week like I did!

It's still early in the year so don't stress if you haven't got the whole fitness thing down yet. Like Nicole said, start off with planning what you want to gain (or lose) from your fitness journey this year and write it down.

Here's a list of my fitness goals for this year:

>> Run - I've never been a huge runner but there are so many benefits to running and I'd like to be able to join a 5k or something during the year without embarrassing myself.

>> Drink More Water - Baby steps...I'm not about to swear off junk food just yet but drinking water will clean out my system a lot faster and fill me up so I shove less junk down my throat!

>> Get Active - Those who know me will tell you that I am in no way a gym rat or workout guru! I know just by watching those infomercials that I'll probably never fall into the P90x or Insanity routines. That just isn't me. I do like going for walks, hiking, jumping on the trampoline, Zumba, dancing, and water sports so doing the things I love more often will help me accomplish this goal and maybe motivate me to take on other things!

>> Don't Quit - This should be on everyone's list! Sticking to your goals throughout the year is tough, I know. But the best way to stay motivated is to find a support system, which Is what Nicole and I are here for!

Now its your turn! Did you finish your fitness goal list yet?
1. My fitness goals for this year are:_________________________________________.

2. I know I can accomplish this by:___________________________________________.
