Exercising at Home
Blogtober 19 is almost over! I can’t believe I have made it through and published a post every day (I am talking like I have already published tomorrow)! This is my first Blogtober so I am so excited to get this done successfully. I didn’t do this well each time I signed up for NaNoWriMo! So yay for progress? I have posted a few pieces about exercise this month but one of my favorite posts on exercise was published early this year on Life: The Reboot. It is a fun post about starting an exercise regimen at home. There are tips for how to set up your exercise space, some…
10 Fitness Tips
If you’re a newbie thinking of starting a fitness regime, use these 10 tips for beginners to make sure that you reach your goals.

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,…
7 Tips for Safe Exercising
Exercise and other forms of physical fitness can be positively life-changing in a number of ways. Your heart, lungs, and other organs benefit, as do important physiological processes. Your mind becomes sharper, you lower your risk of contracting diabetes, cancer and heart disease, and you improve your self-esteem. However, any time you workout or exercise, there is a chance you could become injured. When I was on the dance team in high school, I pulled a hamstring, which has never quite gotten back to normal! I wasn’t always very diligent about warming up and caring for my body before and after a workout. I know much more now. The following…
Why Choose Walking?
I have been an active person for most of my life. From elementary school until 9th grade, I ran track through. I took dance lessons of all types at different times — jazz, tap, and ballet. I was on the dance team in high school and helped start a dance team at my college. Yoga, used bikes, stair steppers, and treadmills in the gym, and lifted weights — all were physical activities that I participated in. With all of that, what is my exercise of choice right now?
