I am very happy that we are starting to get spring weather lately!
It is the time of year for getting rid of old household items and cleaning areas out that have been left over the winter!
Spring time is an awesome time to also get out more and do some exercise, such as going for a walk with the family or going for a jog with a friend!
Try new ways to get fit also so you don't get bored with your routine!
If you always do the same activity for the same period of time, not only will it be boring but also the caloric output will be less each time you do it, therefore making the activity burn very little calories over time as your body adapts to the exercise!
Challenge yourself and push yourself, just don't overdo it in the first 2 weeks or you won't want to exercise again!
*Remember to get your submissions in for the lose weight in 2008 contest, $4000 worth of fitness instruction, nutritional advice and tracking, motivational support and much more!!!*
PPS. Don't forget to register for the April 21st bootcamp, ONLY $99!!! Spots are getting near to being full! http://www.newimagebootcamp.com/
