My workouts? Not sporadic.
About that Im EMPHATIC.
It’s not so much *what* I do–
it’s consistent training. Good food, too.
Im really NOT all that fit.
Im nonetoosad. I *own* it.
My weights time? Short!
Im the fast moving sort.
I plan, hoist, 30 seconds between sets
I *never* chat. No friends Ive met.
I breakdown my body parts.
(This works cuz there’s no fits&starts.)
Chest. Back. Legs. Bi’s. Tri’s too.
OH! And shoulders there’s a place for you!
But *more* than that I see my day
as one BIG chance to move & play.
I take the stairs. I skip some rope.
No workout time? I do not mope!
I skip. I run. Hold my core tight!
Remind myself that it’s alright.
Somedays I workout traditionally.
More often than not it’s creative for me!
Im doing NOW what I can for *life*
And be a mother, friend, employee and wife.

Miz says
June 12, 2012 at 6:08 amI get that entirely. When I’m interviewed & the get to the ‘whats your sport’ question they are always dismayed 🙂 when I respond LIFE.
I get up.
I do it.
I go to bed.
And I get up and do it again the next day.
THAT’S MY SPORT.

Jody - Fit at 54 says
June 12, 2012 at 6:23 amLOVE LOVE LOVE that postcard – LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love your post & although I am more a gym freak & less a play one, I do get it & even at home I find ways to move when not “working out”. I park further, I take stairs, I leave thing downstairs or upstairs & go get them…. not as fun as you! 😉
I always get, “are you a runner” OR “what sport do you do to look like that”… me, I say, yes, training to grow old healthy & have been for years! 🙂
