Swtiching things up & Happy Mother's Day

Hello everyone,

Happy Mother’s Day to every mother ever where…I got up this morning at 6:00am because I received an invite from a Beach Body member to work out with them online. Since I don’t have to work today and I know the importance of support and accountability and having someone there to help support the journey I said yes.

Well, when the alarm went off at 5:45am I thought heck today is my day to rest why did I say yes. I sat in front of my computer and thought don’t be a jerk let’s do this. So I logged in, pulled out P90X’s KenpoX and got busy. I was so glad I did.

I haven’t done KenpoX in so long, I forgot what a wonderful workout it is. I was sweating and breathing hard and loving every minute of it. One of the things that struck me as I continued to work out was Tony’s comment about getting his second wind. With today being Mother’s Day, I thought (as I’m punching and kicking) how many times a day do moms have to get their second wind?

Switching up my workout today was my second wind. Pulling out my P90X tapes was my second wind and fun. I haven’t done them in a while and it was a welcomed change. It felt invigorating and rejuvenating.

That’s why I tell people that I work with – you need to make changes to your workout and diet every 2-4 months to keep your body guessing. With that being said, don’t be afraid to switch up your routine.

Ever have a salad for breakfast or breakfast for lunch? Why not replace one meal with a homemade smoothie to switch things up. Do you workout every morning or evening? Try switching those around too. Variety can be that spice in your fitness life.

Well before I continue to prattle on Happy Mother’s!

Live Actively. Eat Well. Be Healthy.
