Daily Activities




This morning I took my daughter for a walk in her buggy. I'm glad I got it done earlier because the wind outside now would blow you away. I just did a 30 min brisk walk which is whats needed to be done daily to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. It is also benificial to be doing outdoor activities so as to get your daily dose of Vitamin D which plays a very important role of assisting with the maintenance of bone health along with calcium.The buggy added a resistance which made it feel like I was working harder than my usual walk. Also it was great for Michaela as she gets a bit of fresh air and has a nice long nap after being out so I can relax and have a bit of time for moi.

I have Zumba class tonight so I cant wait to get moving as I don't feel like I did enough activities at the weekend. I was at a party Saturday night where I danced quiet a lot but other than that and my walk today, that was about it. Time to start working hard and lose a lb to get my silver 7 on Friday morning.

Although I attend 2 classes of Zumba a week at €8 a pop, the costs can add up and I know it may be difficult for people to always have money to spend on such luxuries. That's why I want  to remind you there are always ways of doing FREE EXERCISES, so no excuses! There are plenty of things you can do for free  e.g.  walking, running, sit ups, skipping rope or even just playing with the kids that are sure to have you burning calories and not just a hole in your pocket!

What I like to do is record things on my Sky Box.There is a channel called the Active channel where I record workouts I feel I should try. So when I get the time I will try the workouts that are stored on my t.v. There are some great workouts always being shown and a lot of the time they are especially for woman wanting to get their bodies back in shape from pregnancy. It's so much better than racing out to get the latest fitness DVD just to let it sit on the shelf gathering dust from being viewed once.

Hope this helps and also the image is from http://www.123rf.com/  some really good images.
