As a blogger, I do spend quite a bit of time in front of my computer and seated at my desk. Though not all of the time, because I’m still running after Squeaker or playing with her but often enough, I think. This is not a habit that I want to continue, but at the same time, I’m also starting to rethink my career choice. But that’s another post for another day. Today, I want to talk about moving away from a sedentary lifestyle and staying active during the day. How to Start Moving Away from a Sedentary Lifestyle So, clearly no one is going to intentionally sit down all day long and not do anything. Even on those days, you still have to get…

So, I really did have all intention of posting about Yoga, but I haven’t started my at home program. Honestly, I still feel that yoga is a great start when it comes to a fitness program at home for moms. Today though, I still want to have some focus on fitness, so I’m going to talk about the benefits of exercising. I’m going to make every Friday a Fitness Friday, and the Yoga for Beginners (Like Me) series will be on a monthly basis. What I need to start doing is keep a fitness journal or at the very least make an accountability sheet. Yes, I know, there are apps for that but if I write it down and can see it, I’m far more…

Yoga has been one of those exercises that I wanted to start and yet, never did. I’m not sure why I kept putting this off… unless it was just my inner procrastinator speaking up, but for whatever reasons or another, I could never get going with it. I’ve bought several DVDs, I got up early to watch Yoga on the fitness on demand channel, I admired (and sometimes wondered) about the videos on YouTube. But I could never motivate myself enough to make it a part of my fitness routine. Until now. So, that’s why I’m starting this yoga for beginners like me series on my blog. I’ll be honest with my attempts, successes, and failures. And, hopefully, prove to myself that yoga is really…

Are you embarking on a weight loss journey or taking steps towards living a healthier lifestyle? One of my main goals, year after year, is to live a healthier lifestyle- by adding a regular fitness routine, eating healthier, and reducing the amount of toxins that are in my life. Some of these require more baby steps than others, but the overall goal will be worth it in the end. I should also add that living a healthier lifestyle is an ongoing goal and not one that I’d like to stop once I’ve reached it. So I want to look for a food change, not a short-term diet solution. For me, that begins with understanding different types of diets.  Why weight loss is more than just your…

If you’re looking to improve your health and wellness as a stay at home mom, I feel you. Usually, I don’t leave the house unless we’re going grocery shopping, to a doctor’s appointment, or for one of Sweet B’s school functions. Honestly, I prefer it like that. I do take walks when the weather is nicer but, it’s also nice to have at-home exercise options. One of the things that I hope to do is yoga, but I also want other options. That’s why I’m sharing my picks for easy core exercises to do at home. Usually, I try to find a workout that’s going to target several muscle groups at once. That’s why, when I get around to it, I really want to start…
