"Every finish line is the beginning of a new race".
Special thanks to Jennifer W. for sharing this wonderful quote!!
Exercise is becoming FUN! Yep, that's right, read that again ~ Exercise is becoming FUN! Today we decided it was too beautiful to stay inside all day so we grabbed our tennis shoes and headed out the door soaking up the sunshine on our lunch. There's a new discovery around every corner and today we found a wonderful blessing ~ Katy Hike & Bike Trail!
The Katy Hike & Bike Trail is located across from Katy Park (under the overpass) on East Main Street. The road is paved, there's beautiful scenery, and it's opening is perfect timing! Make sure to check it out ~ another reason why Chanute Kansas U.S.A. is so awesome.
It's another dose of Wisdom Wednesday and our topic for this week will be about exercise. Our guest blogger Denise Van Cleave will be sharing her tips and how-to's.
Denise starts out her exercise tips with telling all of us that we need to track our exercise. Track the kind of exercise, the time, and the intensity.
Mix up your exercise. There are downloadable video workouts on http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/ that are worth looking at. Try something new! Do some kick-boxing. Try Yoga ~ Denise loves it! Pilates is phenomenal too. Get a good interval-training workou video ~ Kathy Smith has a great one.
**Chanute Library has all kinds of exercise videos and it's FREE!!
Make changes that you can do for the rest of your life. Don't cut calories to the point that you can't maintain it. Don't starve yourself. Don't deny yourself treats. If you REALLY want a cookie, eat it. Just don't eat the whole row. Have a piece of cake, but know that you're going to add 15 minutes to your exercise later.
Make exercise a priority. You've given time and energy to everyone else without a second thought and you deserve the same treatment. You deserve to have an hour a day to spend exercising. You'll be able to take better care of others when you take better care of yourself.
I read this quote from Dr. Oz that really stuck with me (and is now on a bulletin board in my room) . . .
"The heart doesn't sacrifice itself. Before it sends blood to the brain, lungs, ANYWHERE, it send blood to the coronary arteries. It feeds itself first so it's always there to keep pumping, no matter what. It's a good lesson for many mothers, who sacrifice their own health to benefit their children." Pretty powerful statement and true, to boot.
Thanks Denise for your wonderful exercise tips for Wisdom Wednesday! Tomorrow Denise will be sharing calorie counting, breakfast, lunch, and supper ideas PLUS what she does when she's having cravings!!
