Chris said, “Life is about movement!” It doesn’t get an simpler than that, yet that’s often what holds us back. We spend too much time seeking out the latest and greatest strategies and end up experiencing paralysis by analysis and nothing happens.

That first step can be the most difficult, but once you take it momentum is on your side. It doesn’t matter if you are doing hardcore weight training, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, or any other form of exercise. What matters most is that you make the time on a daily basis to get your butt moving.

As Chris said, “It doesn’t matter if you walk like a frog, turtle, or duck, just get moving.” He said that with a smirk on his face, and I gather the point that he was trying to make was to have fun when you are being active.

So what type of movement are you doing today?

I already did my 7 minute workout from Jon Benson’s 7 Minute Muscle program and am about to head out the door and go for a 30 minute bike ride along the Belle River.

I am typing this while watching Angie in the next room doing her workout from The Fit Chic program and I know that she’s going for a brisk walk while I play with the kids after dinner.

Ya, you better believe that play time with my kids counts as a great workout. I sweat just as much chasing them as I do at the gym and I love every second of it. Tonight we are playing army tag or ball tag. We’ll have to see what Shayne and Noelle decide.

Live is about movement so lets get active!
