Maybe it's the new year, and all the hubbub of workout resolutions, but something has me energized to be physically active! There is something powerful about moving our bodies, and I feel all the more confirmed about that as I listen to my gut and get moving.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to be active:
Taking the boys for a walk in the stroller
Dancing around the house as I clean
Yoga
Weeding and pruning
Swimming
Wii fit games
Running
Taking a dance class
Playing soccer
P90X
Chasing my boys around the house
Exercise DVD
Walking with a friend
Whatever it is that moves you, do it and enjoy it! Make your own list of physical activities and begin trying them out. You will see the benefits in all areas of your life. Research has shown the positive results of being physically active. Whether for you it's depression, fatigue, anxiety, or any other number of mental or physical challenges, you can benefit from physical activity that is geared toward your passion and level of ability.
Listen to your body. What is it asking you to do, how is it asking you to move that will honor the space you're in right now? Try listening to your desire to move and be surprised by what happens!
