Fitness Suggestions
I have decided to use my blog to chronicle my workouts so that I can keep track as well as share info with others that may be looking for something to shake up the routine. In return I am very accepting if you want to contribute ideas or work outs! If we keep it fresh...maybe we can all start to appreciate our time at the gym!
honestly since I have been married for 17 years and don't go out and club anymore, I had let myself go and settled into the "soccer mom syndrome"
but since turning 40 last year, I have vowed to get myself back in physical shape. Even after wls in 2008 I just ate right and stayed active and my weight came off slow and steady with very few stalls but I know that if I had worked out the weight may have flew off.
I have had some regain and I know that as I age my metabolism ain't what it use to be so my go to exercise will be walking.
I tend to join gyms and then become to busy to go so because I live in a large subdivision with numerous cul-de-sacs, I am going to do that...The fresh air and walking with weights will lose these regained pounds, add muscle and help with the mental fog!

I wish that it was Hatha Yoga but it is Bikram. Bikram is 26 postures, 2 breathing exercises, 90 minutes in a room that is heated to 105 degrees. It is WICKED hard but I love it. Here is the website link. Maybe there is a studio near you....http://www.bikramyoga.com/studioLocator.php
Each session burns at least 1000 calories!
