Playful Workouts

I wish I had something super insightful to share today but I am feeling playful instead.
Have you ever heard of Fitness Poker?

I did this article on it because I feel like you have to mix things up, hence the reason I went to the Dollar store and got a Hoola-Hoop!

Did you know there is always an exercise you can do to be inspired? You don't have to do the same ole same old again and again till it becomes like work.
(insert not counting runners here) But still you vary your runs and times so that is changing it up and either you like running or you don't per say.

My friend Steve from Fitness and More just sent out a newsletter on this exact subject (insert great minds think alike?)

Workout today - 3 mile Run at lunch

Smoothie:
1/2 banana
2 scoop vanilla whey
1 c water
1 tsp olive oil

I leave you with some inspiration today:

" Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you're riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake up and live."

My NEW Power Yoga Video is Up


I finally got my Power Yoga video up, keep in mind I do these on a "one shot only" I think its pretty good.

Of course I have to stop doing these right after my workouts, because its harder but hey I got it done. I have only been doing yoga for about 9 months and its very different then anything else I do.

I'm still working on my Zumba practice but that and my Boxing video will be on the next round.

Today's workout:
15 Minutes Zumba
3-4 mile run/walk inclines at lunch
