Fitness Friday: I Challenge Myself to Get Fit!

Hey There!

This is a quick check in post to let you guys know that I have decided to challenge myself to exercise daily.

Exercise is important for so many aspects of our health, that it SHOULD be in everyone's daily routine,
BENEFITS of Exercise include:

1. Prevents Weight Gain & helps to Maintain Weight Loss
2. Helps to keep Chronic Medical Illnesses at Bay, such as Diabetes, high Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol
3. Improves Mood - That's for sure! When I'm not exercising enough I feel more lethargic and grumpy than normal.
4. Boost Energy! - Lord knows I need all I can get these days!
5. It can be FUN! When you get into the routine of it, its actually a lot nicer than you think, More FUN less CHORE :-)

and hair-wise :-) : I notice that I tend to have better hair growth when I am exercising daily and eating well...
Hehehe its a nice plus, I not goin' Lie, LOL! *winks*

All these benefits and YET,

I have really slacked off in this department of late,
with sporadic workouts here and there...
But this doesn't work for me long term, I like to have a plan, a routine,

and after a "comments convo" with KLP from SavingOurStrands,
I was motivated to get off my hindquarters and get started!!!

#FITNESSFRIDAY here I come!

Game Plan:
(already in progress #gorachelgorachel! #yardiereference :-)

• Jogging in the mornings - Check! so far, this is of course once its not raining, the weather here in Tortola can be so unpredictable! Lol!
• Mid-day Jump rope for 5 minutes - Machel Montano Song on blast!
• Attempt Spin class in the evenings - Once my work schedule allows
• For those freakish days when all goes wrong and NONE of the above was accomplished:
  

Of course I have to make sure that I try to eat properly, hydrate and rest,
But: one challenge at a time, I don't want to get too overwhelmed.

So I'll check in with you guys on #fitnessfriday this week to let you know how it went

Feel free to join me! I'd love the company!

Xoxo,

Rachie :-)
