Memorial Day Weekend How will you spend it?



Memorial Day Weekend is here!  Do you have plans?  Will this be a physically acitve weekend for you, or one of drinking and eating while hanging out with friends? I plan on golfing at least one of the 3 days.  I'll be cleaning the garage another day, and working on choreo for enhance and Zumba.  I will also be taking a bit of time to think about the people in my family who currently serve or served in the military.  My grandfather was in the Navy during WWII, my daddy was a marine, my step father was in the army both during the Korean War, My husband and an Uncle served in the Airforce, My Great Uncle, brothers and one of my nephews served in the army, and another nephew served in National Guards, he went to Turkey, Afghanastan and Iran. The military teaches honor and respect for others, and selflessness. My Great Uncle was injured during WWII and lost a leg as well as his ability to have children.  If you've lost  someone or had someone injured, who's fought to protect others, they are hero's in their own right. 

Enhance has been working going well.  My class is growing a little at a time.  We do about 40 minutes of cardio and warm up, and then follow with some hand and leg weight exercises, and some flexibility.  I have some stability ball exercises thrown in as well.  I have a ten minute break between my gold zumba and Enhance Fitness. My endurance has worked up nicely, and I'm getting some weight lifting in as well.  Next week I'm going to be adding some personal training clients into the mix. 
I saw this little pic above on face book and thought I would share it with you.  I know she's crying about not going to the gym, but not all of your exercise has to be there. Some people never go to a gym but have excellent exercise routines.  So take heart if its five days or five years do whats best and FUN for you.  Fitness should be about fun and healthy living, not about drudgery and misery
Have a great weekend and doing something active .
