Book Blog Walkers January Check In



I was so happy when I stumbled upon Book Blog Walkers. The Geeky Book Bloggers Blog is the host so pop over there for all the details if you are interested in participating.  I have a lot of fun with the twitter hastag #bookblogwalkers .  Everyone keeps each other motivated .. it's fun.

So this month I have been doing pretty good keeping up with my fitness goals. I was never a jock girl.  I didn't play sports and hated the gym.  I have always been thin so no problems there either.  But as I've become a little older I can tell I need to work out.  I have been going to the gym for a few years now, so that is another reason I love this because I can share with others how I've been working out.

I typically go to the gym... which has great views.  This is looking outside the aerobic room. You can kind of see footprints of people crazy enough to run outside on the track in the snow.


This year I am trying something new.  On the days I don't make it to the gym I will either walk outside or do a workout video.  We have some videos for a while now, a couple of Biggest Loser ones.  So I gave it a go. WHAT!  I thought I was in shape till I tried this video!  This type of workout is totally different then the gym (where I do the bike/elliptical/weights).  I was soooo sore after doing it!


In 2014 I am also started Yoga.  My grandmother who does Yoga gave me a wonderful starter book for Christmas.  I am really glad I tried this at home before taking a class.  Yoga is much harder on the body then I thought.  I really love this book though.  It has a DVD, and really explains everything.  Even has guides for each session that you could take out of the book if you wanted.  I thought this was going to be so easy ... PLEASE.  I have a long way to go this year with Yoga but am excited to keep it up.  I haven't bought a Yoga mat yet, I need to make sure it is something that I am actually going to do it.




Well that is my check in for #bookblogwalkers this month.  Be sure to be on the lookout at the end of February to see what I have in store that month. If you want to join up be sure to check out the hashtag #bookblogwalkers on twitter. And stop by The Geeky Book Bloggers Blog to get more information!  Go walkers!!
