What's On Your Fitness Bucket List?

Yesterday morning as I was signing out of my email an headline popped up that made me think. It was titled, "Fitness Bucket List for Women". Because I am interested in all things exercise, I immediately clicked on it.

As I read the subtitle, "Four fitness goals every woman should try to reach". Hmmm... I thought,  not a bad idea to have a fitness bucket list. So what does this article have to say? I kept reading and found well, four things every woman should be able to cross off her list. Then followed by the reason for why each item is so important and how to do each one.

What are those four things?

1) Hold a plank pose for 60 seconds
2) Run a half-marathon
3) Pull off 10 push-ups
4) Hold the tree pose for 60 seconds 

Not a bad start for a fitness bucket list.

What do you think, should each person have a fitness bucket list? Why or why not?

If you had a list, what would be on it?

Color Outside the Lines

This morning as I was taking my small group of ladies through a workout, I decided to do something totally abnormal for me. I decided to be spontaneous. Sometimes I think we get caught up in life and just go through the motions of getting things done. A little Robot like, don’t ya think? Personally I think that makes life, well, a little bit boring. We need to kick back and do something out of the ordinary. In my case, all it took to brighten up the day was putting on a little music and dancing to the “Cotton Eye Joe” and the group loved it! I just want to encourage you today to do something completely out of the blue and have your own “Cotton Eye Joe” moment, embrace spontaneity!
