“Better late than never” is a good mantra to be heard every single day.

If you don’t exercise or don’t do enough of it, just remember it is never too late to change your life around.

After talking it over with your doctor first, start slow and you can always increase your pace for longer distances. Choose what you enjoy. Walking, running, sprinting, biking, swimming.

There are a variety of fitness workouts you can try to do. You will start to build muscle mass, lose body fat and shed pounds.

I did my stairs workout this early morning and my 75 squats and a good Run.

Fitness is not the answer for all body ailments, although it will leave you feeling good about yourself.

It just may leave a smile on your sweaty face~

 Trying leads to succeeding~

Always give it your best is my motto.

Do the best you can.

Try your best.

Just be yourself~

Thank-you Marie for your kindness.

Put Your Needs First~Go For a RUN

I know I feel terrific after doing my squats, 13 sets on the stairs and doing a 2 miles Run.

My daughter and I have started the ‘30-day squat challenge’ together. This is her second time around and my first go at it. Today we started with 50 squats. I will keep you updated on how it all goes. Squats is something I have always enjoyed doing.

We often tell ourselves there is too much to get done to have fun or exercise.

Take a break every now and then. You’ll feel so much better.

You will be glad you did. I am!

I can honestly say I am dedicated to my fitness.

I am consistent at the gym and my running.

Lots of sweat, perseverance and good old-fashioned hard work for sure.

Exercise improves quality of life~

Exercise really has improved the quality of life for me. Although I suffer with pain in my back and headaches everyday I still feel it does help keeping my muscles strong. Those feel good endorphins is what I am after.

My doctor tells me to continue with what I am doing and reminds me to always be ‘body smart.’.

I hope you are able to do some kind of fitness as it also is terrific for aging baby boomers like myself.

Photos my husband captures on his way to work in the early mornings. He said it was beautiful to watch the geese popping up and wandering into the lake.

Beauty of nature. Have a terrific, worry free day.

Before we headed out for our 5K Hike.

Some play time before we headed out

I am like a little girl when I see these ‘stuffies’ as I like to call them. Just have to get a picture with them.

My Hubby with his wild and crazy hat. He was actually doing his warm up dance with everybody before we headed out. He had me laughing.

We did this hike in honour of my mom-in-law who passed away from leukemia, while in Hospice in 2005. She had a great sense of humor and I know she was smiling down at us. We miss you~

A beautiful smile from my Grand Son.

Today let us share smiles, hugs and encouragement

Another smile from me, the Grandmother.

Share some smiles today~

Helen Keller is someone I have always admired and loved.

These are some of the stairs that I enjoy playing on.

I run up and down, take them two at time, bunny hop, even have tried one foot at time. All fun exercises to do on stairs that is terrific for the lower body.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. ~ T.S. Eliot

These stairs are right close by to the top ones. I prefer these ones because they are more in the open and more stairs to play on. Silly girl.

I count going up and down as one set, so far I have done 12 sets. I try to push myself all the time. When I am done here, as I call this my ‘warm up’, I take off for a run. Today I only did a 2 mile run as it was getting quite hot and felt like I had done enough for now.

Oh no. I did come home and did 50 squats. Now I am done!

Have a wonderful day and thank-you so much for visiting my blog.

There’s Something Special About YOU
