Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the extended "Holiday Hiatus"! We all got sick after Christmas and have been passing a couple rounds of a virus around our house since then which put a major halt to most of my workouts. I'm finally feeling strong again and have started up my routine again this week so Jen's Corner will be back with more videos, recipes and blogs starting next week!
I had been hoping to start the New Year strong, with health being one of my top priorities. Being sick was disappointing but it usually ends up being productive in other ways. The time I would usually spend exercising gets spent doing something else which gives me some extra time to explore new things. I mostly spent the extra time with my daughter but I did also get back to going out for the long walks I love to take in our neighborhood.
If I've learned anything throughout my fitness journey, I've learned that I do some of my best thinking during or after exercise - especially activities like running, walking, swimming, hiking, roller blading, biking... anything where I can get into a groove and just go. I've learned from David that the alternating bilateral patterns of movement in the body actually sync up the right and left hemisphere of the brain, creating both balance, harmony, and for me, the ability to think so fluidly. I think that's why I'm "addicted" to running - my body and mind crave that time to connect. I have sorted out many of life's problems while running. It's a great way to "work-it-out", if you will!
So, it feels great to be back in the swing of things and enjoying my health again. If any of you have made any health, fitness, or lifestyle changes or resolutions in the New Year, I'd love to hear about them!
