April is my birthday month, so I’ve got presents on my mind. Here are some presents I am giving myself over the next year:
Cardio: Most of the time, cardio comes to me in the form of time on my spin bike, or, as I like to call it, the Magic Mood-Fixing Machine. I know cardio burns calories and does good stuff for my heart and plenty of other things, but the real reason I do it is because it makes me feel good. Period. When I’m not getting it on the spin bike, I get my cardio playing pickleball (bonus points for being social!) or walking/hiking/swimming (bonus points for outside time!).
Weight Training: I love feeling strong. My bones also need to be strong as I get older. I need an amped-up metabolism and a body with more lean mass.
Pilates: Uncle Joe knows what my body needs. Doing Pilates refines my movements, improves my balance, and creates mobility in a frame that is particularly good at being immobile.
Yoga: Times are stressful. I need to chill out, get flexible, and breathe.
Water: I need it inside and out. I want to drink it, swim in it, and soak in it.
What gifts do you all want for yourselves?
