3 weeks ago you were so optismistic. You vowed to be more active in 2013 and you vowed to include your loved ones in your fitness journey. Did you actually do it? If not, no biggie you can make the change now. Here's a reason to renew it -- and bring your mom along, too:
Here's something you've heard before...The more active women are in midlife, the more likely they are to live longer. That means make workout dates with your Mom. For example go hiking together every Sunday. I know distance can be an issue. (It is for me.) If it is for you too I suggest when you are together spend time working out, make her a sassy playlist she can listen to on her next walk or run, give her a gift of fitness by purchasing a class package for her to use at her favorite studio.
Another reason to make sure you should renew your vow to be physically active in 2013. Stress relief. Stress can be a weight obstacle for women. I’m not talking about full on bootcamp workouts (those are fun too, and I highly suggest you try them if you haven’t already) try 4.5 to 8 hours of walking a week. That is enough to bring on the benefit of stress relief. I’m not talking about slow sauntering but kicking things up and walking at a moderate pace.
So go ahead and get moving.
