A morning walk will do you good....

I love to exercise. I am that girl on vacation that wakes up everyday and goes for a run. I am that friend at Girls Weekend at the beach, that makes someone else come with me for a walk to enjoy the ocean. I believe in exercise as a religion, an escape, something to do everyday that is good for me and makes me feel good.

I know most of America does not share this same excitement for exercise. The look on my girlfriends faces when I ask who is joining me for a walk after a long night out, tells me so. However, exercise does not have to be punishment, it does not have to be hard. You just need to move your body for 30-45 minutes.

Walking is the easiest way to exercise. All you need is sneakers on your feet. I walk a few times a week and make it fun by talking to family or friends on the East Coast, listening to music, or simply knowing a Cappuccino is waiting for me after the 45 minutes.

So, if you have made up your mind that you hate exercise. I recommend finding something you enjoy, walking, dancing, tennis, swimming. Find something where your body is moving that you don't consider exercise.

Ways to make exercise FUN!

Ways to make exercise FUN!

1. Walk with a friend to catch up and then have a healthy lunch. 
2. Grab your coffee and stroll the neighborhood or at the local park in the fresh air of the morning. 
3. Take a dance class or lesson with your significant other. 
4. Go swimming with your kids in the pool. 
5. Get a group of friends together and sign up for a Pilates class. 

Life is too short, but exercise will make it longer!
