Reasons I Work Out

Just got in from a fun tennis match late on this Monday night and thought it'd be fun to post why I work out. Ya know, other than the obvious of that it's good for your health now and long term. And know that I don't work out for an hour every day of the week. I honestly don't have time to do that with work, life etc. But I do have time to move my toosh however it looks for that day.

1. I want to be able to do whatever my kids want me to do with them. If they want me to run a 5k with them, I want to be able to do it. If they want me to play any sport with them, count me in. If they want me to teach them how to ride a bike...I want to do it (already taught one and working on the other)! You get the point but I want to be able to do it all!

2. Stress relief from work and life. Ain't gonna lie - it makes me feel like a new human in more ways than one. 

3. Makes me feel better physically. I do feel better when I've moved my body. 

4. Fun - I grew up running with my Dad. Those are some really good memories going mailbox to mailbox and I hope one of my kiddos likes to do it enough for us to do the same!

5. Good model for my kids. They see me taking care of myself in that way. They're always watching. Molly Anne has recently come into the gym with me in the evenings and lifted weights with me. I love it! 

New gear I'm excited about! Sweatshirt // Sports Bra // Leggings (with pockets and same material as my fav Lululemon but much cheaper)
