Hello Deliciously Inspired friends.  You know I love passing on things that inspire me with the hope that an idea or two will enhance your lives.  Today is about exercise and something I am finding very helpful.

Movement is a gift – it starts in the womb.  We watch newborns stretch their freed limbs.  Infants find their mobility and will practice endlessly until they are toddling about exploring their world.  Children play.  Then we grow up and forget in our busyness that we are meant to move and a vicious cycle starts because without that movement we atrophy and become unhealthy.  Even if you are thin – you are not necessarily healthy without movement.  And if you have a desk job or sit a lot – here is what researchers are finding:

“Most of us spend a lot of our day sitting.  And while perching behind a desk may not sound like high-risk behavior, research shows that just 20 minutes in your favorite desk chair causes key ligaments in your spine to overstretch, leaving you stuck in a closed-off position, or “flexion,” that can take up to two days to fully undo.”  The Perfect Warm-Up, Dr. Andrew Heffernam, CSCS, Experience Life Magazine, April 2013

Movement looks different each day.  For example I just finished my first workout in two weeks because of bronchitis.  This morning I felt like I should be given an award just to get out of bed let alone put on my workout clothes.  I did less than I normally  do but I couldn’t be more proud of myself.   My success is in part because of an innovative idea my daughter (aka – Tamara; aka – The Workout Mama) created.  It works for people of all ages – beginner to advanced.  I love that this allows me to workout at home and the personal trainer comes to me in emails and video.  No thinking – just doing.

I completed Session 1 and got through 3 weeks of Session 2 of The Workout Mama’s Bootcamp before I got sick but today I did her FREE Santa Workout and it’s my plan to follow this program in December and start back up with The Workout Mama Bootcamp that starts in January.  I know I may sound like an info commercial but it’s a smoking deal (5 weeks of workouts, Facebook accountability group, workout in your home when it is convenient for you and only $40.00).

I’ve lost 5 pounds and 3.5 inches since starting.  So thank you, Tamara, for this free session.  With all those goodies out there right now – this is a tool that will help keep me on track.

So I’m inviting you to check out this FREE Christmas Mini Bootcamp Session and join me as we move these bodies God has given us.  You may just give yourself the best gift this December and a head start on that “January I need to get healthy” thinking.   Who knows this just might be something that will work for you also.
