Take Walks in Interesting Destinations
Walking on a treadmill in a gym can be unbearably boring. Nobody likes getting in shape by walking the same speed on a flat surface staring blankly at the wall, at best with music coming in through headphones or some random news channel blaring from the TV on the wall. It makes things tedious, and when you have to do something tedious, more often than not you’re going to stop doing it. If you really want to commit to fitness and not be bored to death while doing it, get outside and walk around some interesting places instead. There are so many good places to walk all around the world.…
Taking Care of You
Each of us was given a single physical vessel to use for our entire lifetime. Apart from general health and wellness, such as eating a healthy diet, routine exercise, and getting enough quality sleep, we should also establish and maintain a self-care regimen. There has been so much information floating around about self-care. But even with this wealth of information, many haven’t quite grasped the concept of self-care. They get stuck in the mindset that it’s self-indulgent and that there simply isn’t enough time in the day. Self-care is basically you taking care of you. We spend a great deal of time catering to the needs of others, yet who…

Use compound movements that work for more than one muscle group at a time to really make…
A Product Service Review: Fabletics
This review contains only my own opinions. I am an affiliate so I may receive compensation if you purchase products through the link at no additional cost to you. I was not compensated for this post. As a regular walker and occasional yogi, I wear a lot of leggings! Lots of leggings! My son says I don’t exercise enough for these outfits! 😊 I started wearing them almost exclusively when my kidney started failing sometime in 2014. I didn’t have a lot of energy, so leggings were easy to wear. When I had the dialysis catheter implanted into my abdomen in September 2015, the leggings were a blessing! Even now,…
