Fitness Anyone?

 anIt has been a year and three months since I our little one was born.  For some fortunate reason I have never had to work at losing my baby weight (except for the last 7 lbs I never lose that until I stop nursing, then it just sheds off). Never...until this last one. And it would be that my life would be turned upside down so it would seem impossible to work out.  My degree is in exercise science, I was a personal trainer and even with all the things I studied and all the benefits I know... it was just hard to make it a priority.  So baby steps.  First off, never in my life did I see working out as a chore but that is what it was looking like.  And I know if it is not something I am enjoying I won't stick to it.  So my first plan of action...what will I enjoy.  Playing with  my kids.  This is why I put the playground as a picture.  Have you ever played tag on and around one of these things.  It is one of the greatest work outs.  I get winded every time and sometimes have to take a time out.  Bonus it is more of a sprint workout, and back in the day when I was in school they did this study and people who did sprints lost more fat then those that did long endurance.  And now everyone knows about that awesome study and people are doing sprints workouts all the time.  Double bonus I get to play with my kids and have fun, get outside and get sunshine.  Working out doesn't have to be working out. So if you are struggling like I am go play!  Play marco polo in the pool. Just get up and move.  There was also another study that was done...wish I could remember the study, I can't but I remember the impact it had on my brain.  It said that people who smoked and exercised were more healthy than people who were sedentary and didn't smoke. I remember thinking man being sedentary is worse then smoking, that is crazy.  Anyway go have fun and play! And Jones this life :)
