Febuary 14- Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Although I think this is a stupid and rediculous holiday... It's still good to acknowledge those you love in your life!!

Speaking of love... let's chat for one second more about loving yourself before you get my work out I did yesterday.

We want so much to take care of our families first. We tend to put the things we want or need second, and only focus on your kids, jobs, husbands, sigificant others, parents... etc. But, how are we to take good care of them and most importantly, set a good example, if we do not take care of ourselves also?

I can't begin to stress how important it is to make time for yourself! Of course you know exercise needs to be on the top of your list to taking care of yourself. I have seen so many people come and go from the gym because they are letting "life" get in the way of their health and happiness.

You cannot take care of the ones you love if you do not take care of yourself!

Be the example, leader, and motivator. Take 30 minutes out of your day, 5 days a week. That's only 150 minutes total!!!! Pretty much how long it takes to watch a kids movie....

No more excuses. Take your health and fitness in your hands. Teach your kids the value of exercise and learn to do things as a family. Get to the gym, walk around the lake, take a fitness class, meet your girl friends for yoga. Don't let your health go to the way side before it's too late and your family has to take care of you.

LOVE YOURSELF! :-)

OK, enough weith the mush... here's the awesome back and biceps work out I did yesterday. The weights took about 30 minutes so make it happen!
