The Week so Far

This week has been crazy and I have not been to the gym in 5 days! Work has been keeping me pretty late and my husband has not had the energy to go to the gym. We have taken several evening walk around the neighborhood but I am lacking on my 10K steps a day requirement for my fitbit! Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to go and do Zumba and maybe go for a walk through a park since it is supposed to be nice outside. How do you juggle life and working out? Any tidbits?

Heart Mini Walk

Yesterday was a great day in both the weather and being active! I started the day by taking a yoga class to destress and stretch before heading downtown to do the heart mini walk. The walk was great and the weather was just fantastic for it! It took about an hour to walk the 5K but as you can see, I started in the pictures posted, I was pretty far back/walking at the crowd’s pace. When my friend and I crossed the finished line we were treated with medals and some freebies! With this recent weather, I am getting stir crazy for another walk. What walks do you participate in? What do/don’t you like about it? Ever try the color run?

Cincinnati Fitness Expo

Today I went down to the fitness expo to pick up my Heart Mini walk packet for Sunday. The expo was great and had several other race and organizations in attendance. All around it was a nice free event to attend with my husband and get inspired/excited for the walk. After the expo my husband and I went to the gym and I attended another Zumba class. I am slowly getting more coordinated (or so I think). I love being able to do Zumba and get motivated by the other people in the class. Sunday is the Heart Mini walk so time to get excited and motivated with the city of Cincinnati for a worthy cause! What gets you motivated to workout or start the day?

The First Step

I have started a path to lose weight and become all around healthier in all aspects of my life. I have started to take Yoga to increase my flexibility and decrease the stress in my life as well as taking Zumba classes so I can dance the calories away. I would love to get feedback from others out there on the best ways they relieve stress or the fitness activities that inspire them to keep going and to go harder. I am taking life a step at a time.
