Spring Fever

Hi everyone,

I'm back. I enjoyed Easter last weekend with my family and I appreciate all who asked about the blog.

Ok, so we're in Spring! Now is the best time to get outside and take advantage of this B-E-A-U-tiful weather! I personally love riding my bike but for those of you who do not have one, running or walking is always nice too. You know those little trips to the store for a few things here and there? Well with the weather being so nice take advantage and get some exercise in. Just get out and be active.

For those of you who really want to get into it, check out your local playground. When the children are not there that is the best place to workout. I usually do my work out there when they are in school or early weekend mornings. You have the monkey bar to swing across which gets the muscles of your back, core and arms. There are steps there which you could use to do step ups and if you are really fit, plyometrics. Push ups and Pull ups and even body rows at some playgrounds. There are plenty of things to do just use your imagination.

Your workout does not have to be confined to the playground though. Your back yard or an open park is also an ideal place to get your sweat on, as long as you have your allergies in check. You can do body weight work anywhere. Examples: squats, push ups, lunges, sit ups, the plank, jumping jacks or rope.

So there are an array of exercises to get your heart rate up whenever you have some time to fill. Get active and enjoy this beautiful season!

As Always
Activity and Health

God Bless and
See you next Sunday
