Happy Leap Day

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2024, Health and Fitness

Any day is a great day to start a new workout program,  but what day could be better than LEAP DAY !

Before I started my “Health and Fitness” journey, I had countless excuses for not working out on a regular basis.    My favourite one had to be “I don’t feel well”.   Seriously?  Feeling unwell tends to happen when one barely moves from one week to the next. 

Now, I have been on this journey for two years.  For every excuse that I have dropped, I have gained a dozen benefits.  My favourite one …. I feel good! I especially feel good during and following my morning aerobics class.    Stretching, bending, stepping, and leaping loosens every muscle and joint and just gets your blood moving.   It is fun and like any good fitness program, the classes start off easy enough for a beginner and get progressively more challenging.

This is the class I did this morning.  

Later in the day, I will do some strength training with five pound dumbbells and a few basic exercises like squats and pushups.  They are not as much fun, in my mind, but super important as we age.  

Whatever you do today, take care and have a good one! ☺️ 💞

  9. Love this, Anne. Keep getting after it! Came across this tonight and made me think of our excuses.

  18. It is doable and it feels good. I have super sensitive skin so massages don’t work for me. My workouts are my kind of massage – and of course they help my breathing, flexibility, and balance. (Yay Viagra 🙄😂)
