Just be Active!!!

You want a fun and fit lifestyle?! Just be Active!!!

This is the easiest way to stay in shape and even lose weight! Pick an activity, pick several! Try something different every weekend! There are so many fun activities out there, that are great for every season and every location. Try something that you've never done, make a bucket list of activities. That's what I did! I just wrote down everything I could think of that I would ever want to try and now I just have to make a point to start checking them off. And guess what?! It's fun! It isn't an hour and a half in the gym on a beautiful day. It isn't "a job" you feel you HAVE to do. It's you living a fit and active lifestyle and making the most of your time here on earth!

So make a list!

Here are somethings I have on mine, and maybe you might want to put on yours!

You can literally do anything! Be active, have fun! Make everyday a challenge and an adventure. Put down new places you'd love to walk. Maybe there is a nature trail by your house you just never got a chance to check out. Maybe you want to go hiking and camp out. Maybe you've always wanted to run in a 5K or a half or full marathon even! Mud runs are so popular right now, and they aren't all super intense. Most of them are just a lot of fun, and cool to say you've done. There are no limits to what you can do.

Sometimes it is hard to jump right into a fitness oriented lifestyle, maybe that has always seemed boring to you and you just wouldn't be able to stick to it. But that doesn't mean you have to be unhappy with your body. The gym isn't the only place you can lose weight. In fact I have found that the gym is the least effective place for me to lose weight. I have my workouts I do at home through Beach Body, and then I just do my best to constantly stay active and be fit in other ways. 

Do you have dogs? Dogs need exercise too. Take your dogs for a walk, once a day is ideal. This is a great way to start making a fit lifestyle change. Try going to new places, jump in the car with your furry friends and pick a nice canal path close by. The options are endless! Don't give up, there is always something you can be doing to get results and better your health and your life.
