FUN

Well hellooo there lol. I just wanted to end the year on fun and happy note.

I thought I would share with you some of the things that I do to try to keep my daily workout routine fun. The above picture was one I posted in one of my Facebook groups. I had just finished my strength workout for the day and felt accomplished and happy so….

What other ways do I try to make my fitness fun? One music of course. I also bought my grandson a little tykes barbell so he can work out with me. he needed it he said for his bench presses.

Now sometimes I lose track of my set count. So, if I am doing 4 or 5 sets of 10. I have no trouble keeping up with the 10 but the sets well that is a different story. I decided one morning that perhaps I should use what I have at my disposal to help me keep track of my sets.

So let me introduce you to my little friends:

I know quite silly but hey it works for me and makes me smile. It makes the same old routine a little fun. Guess what? If I am in the mood for a change I will switch it up.

BOOM! Race cars to the rescue. I have about a million in the exercise/kid’s room so why not. It brings the grands joy, so it brings me joy.

Yes, I even have a reward system in place to keep track of my daily accomplishments. One is I post to my Facebook post usually at the end of the workout so I can just be accountable. I am sure not everyone enjoys seeing my posts, but it helps me to keep at it, so I do it. The other well it is old school and a bit silly I suppose but it makes me smile and feel better about myself. It is also a good visual if I am letting too many days go by without exercising.

So, there you go a few little fun things I do to keep me focused and on track. There are days when I just want to throw in the towel. On those days I look at my chart, say good morning to the dinos and get it done anyway. I hope that all of you can find your own fun during your day. May we never grow so old we forget to find the fun and joy in our everyday lives. When we don’t feel like it exactly when we need to do. Smile at someone today bring a little joy to those around you!
