How is Progress Measured?

I am a procrastinator. And I am a planner. Also a dreamer. A bit of fantasy thinker too. The scene of the theme writing in A Christmas Story could have been written about me! I love to listen to podcasts that inform and advise in the way of self-discipline. Self-discipline is both a gift andContinue reading “How is Progress Measured?”

Gym Anxiety

People might laugh at me. People might talk about me. People might stare at me. I might stumble. I might look stupid. I might not have proper form. I don’t know what I’m doing. I can’t jump as high as other people. I can’t lift as heavy as other people. There is no limit toContinue reading “Gym Anxiety”

Day 6/100 Good Mornings

Challenges, Inspirations & Accountability Partners

So far, I’ve been fortunate to keep up with the 100-day challenge that’s in progress. My morning mobility routine has actually been daily. Woohoo! The best part about this 2-minute routine is I have noticed a difference, functionally, in my life. I think the dailiness of doing a thing may be more important than theContinue reading “Challenges, Inspirations & Accountability Partners”

A Little Flash of Color to My Black & White Gym Uniform

Sometimes you’re doing your warmup in the Wednesday night class and then you move on to the next planned exercise. But sometimes it doesn’t go as planned. Sometimes a muscle will scream “ENOUGH!” And it stops you in your tracks. That happened this past Wednesday evening. Fortunately, there were other coaches to cover for myContinue reading “A Little Flash of Color to My Black & White Gym Uniform”

Sunshine & Alone Time

Sitting alone at a patio table is one of my favorite things to do, whether at home or in a public space. Hearing the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling is peaceful. It helps my mind slow down and see things from a different perspective. I happen to be in the public setting atContinue reading “Sunshine & Alone Time”

100-Day Challenge Day 1

Well, I’ve finally settled on my challenges. I chose three. The first is sweeping. I started to write about why I chose this as one of my three final choices. Then decided, I probably shouldn’t go into this on a fitness blog, ha! The second is to perform mobility exercises. This is something I needContinue reading “100-Day Challenge Day 1”

100 Days

Have you ever participated in a 100-day commitment? On my personal IG & FB accounts I did two years of “365 days of gratitude posts.” That seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal, there is reason each day to be grateful, just pick five things every day and post them. But the dailiness ofContinue reading “100 Days”

Fit for FUN + Fit for LIFE – What does that mean to you?

Think about the things you do on any given day. Grocery shopping, babysitting grandkids, cooking a meal for your family, doing laundry, going dancing, hanging out at the park, or whatever you do in your work or leisure. At the grocery store, how many times do we do calf raises in order to get somethingContinue reading “Fit for FUN + Fit for LIFE – What does that mean to you?”

Dreams – The Ones That Happen When You Sleep

“Coach Cindy, where are you?” The other team coaches asked me in my dream. “Oh no!” I was supposed to be at an early meeting and it is a 45-minute drive, when there is zero traffic and no detours. And I think they are changing up the construction scheduling at the highway entrance this weekend.Continue reading “Dreams – The Ones That Happen When You Sleep”
