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.…

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. Make Your Workout Worth It If you want to get the most out of your workout, you need to remember that around 80% of the results that you get from your workout actually come from just 20% of your workout. That means that in an hour’s session, only 12 minutes of the workout will contribute to the bulk of your results. You need to make those minutes really count.

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,…

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…
