i am really trying to stay on this exercise thing, and i think something that helps is planning activities that don't involve the gym, but will keep you active. they do say that variety is the spice of life!
before moving to atlanta, hb got me some golf lessons with a pro, and i LOVED it! unfortunately, i only had 3 lessons before we were set to move, and i could not continue with it. i became interested in golf because of hb. although we are young, we always talk about retirement, and how we would love to travel to places that have great golf courses (in my head we would play all the time in hawaii - i picture taking in the views of diamond head as we go through the course, and then finishing our round with a nice cocktail, but i think hb other courses in mind as well). i also feel like it would keep us from becoming distant, and not really knowing each other after the kids are out of the nest. sorry for that tangent! so, my point - golf is a great sport that's not high impact, but gives you a great shoulder, arm, and ab workout. you would think that it would be easy to hit a ball that's on the ground, but it's not as easy as you think. although i have yet to get on a course, walking a course is also excellent exercise, and i'm looking forward to one day actually playing a round, but for now, i will stick with going to the range and practicing my swing to prepare for future lessons.
do i look like tiger or what??
ps, if you are trying to golf, do NOT try my stance....you should have your knees slightly bent, and your feet going the same direction. my feet kind of in a plie in this one :)
you are too adorable!! i've only been to the driving range once, with paul, but it was much more fun than i expected it to be. liz and christian play golf together when they travel, i just learned.. i think it's such a cute thing for couples to do together.
ReplyDeletei've had so many compliments on your bathing suit that i wore out fishing... ;-)
