So as we all head into the new year we are all faced with the concept of New Years resolutions. Oh I have made
them before only to fall short of my goal as life (family and work) take over my good intentions. So this year I decided to get my friend Angela involved in my New Year resolution so that I have to be accountable to someone other than myself. Oh, I guess this would be a good place to tell you what my New Years Resolutionis.........well the plan is to be
physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes for all 365 days of the year. That is right every single day of 2012. So now you might be asking why are you blogging about it? Well Angela and I were trying to figure out how to keep each other on track, she lives in London and I live in Collingwood. We tried google calendar but that was really frustrating and then Angela sent me an excel sheet that had dates on it and that is not that much fun. So when I was snowshoeing the other day I thought to myself maybe I should blog about our efforts - make us accountable not only to each other but anyone else who might be interested in what we are up to. So that is the beginning of this blog I hope you enjoy and I look forward to your comments.

Day 30 - You Can Do Anything For 30........

You know the saying "you can do anything for 30 seconds"?  Well that was this mornings 6:15 am ladies conditioning class at Active Life Conditioning .  It was full of 30 seconds.  That's right 30 seconds of cardio and 30 seconds of strength for the whole session - what a great workout with little rest.  You really push yourself to the limits when you know it will end in 30 seconds.  Thanks Laura!

Well I think this 30 thing can apply to my new years resolution too!  You can do anything for 30 minutes.  30 minutes of physical activity out of 1440 minutes of a day.  Trying to fit in 30 minutes in a day may seem difficult but it really isn't.  It can be as simple as going for a walk around the neighbourhood - sure does feel good to get out there!  Start today and try it out!

  1. Hi! Just a quick 30 minute walk with Marley. Definitely not as challenging as your workout! Sounded awesome by the way. Wish I could have joined you!
