Tennis.. MY NEW FAV HOBBY
I'm really not very good at it.  But it's a lot of fun, and I have the best teacher ever!

1. Running (I'm aware that most people would not agree with me that running is "fun".)  But running is always a great way for me to have some alone time and to reflect on my day.  It's very rare that I come home from a run wishing I would have done something else.  It's refreshing, soothing to the soul and a great way to get my daily dose of cardio in.

2. ZuMBa.  'Nuf said!  I absolutely love doing zumba.  After my breakup with Chris, working out became my way of coping.  I happened to get in the best shape of my life over the summer.  Yes having a trainer was helpful, but I also give a lot of credit to my zumba classes.  I did 4, sometimes up to 6, zumba classes a week.  I absolutely enjoy the workout.  It's an hour of dancing and moving my hips!  What a perfect type of exercise for me.  I mean.. I'm the girl that you see dancing in her car by herself, down the isles of grocery stores by herself, and really just anywhere (even by herself) =)

3. Tennis.  I just enjoy the fact that I'm not that great at it.  I'm a pretty competitive person, so it's exciting for me when I come across something I SUCK at.  I give myself a hard time and tend to become obsessed with it until I'm the best I can be at it.  I foresee tennis being my goal to perfect this winter!!

4.  Dancing in the clubs.  Not only is it fun to dance in front of the mirror at home, but I always have such a great time going out dancing.  I don't care if I'm doing a river dance, or doing the c walk.  It's all so much fun for me.  I have noticed that when I go out dancing, I don't drink as much!  So not only am I having a good time with my friends and meeting new people on the weekends, I'm also staying hydrated and dancing the earlier alcoholic beverages off!

5.  A good old fashioned trainer.  I was very blessed to get to have the trainer I had over the summer.  He is such a great guy!  He knows how to push me without pushing my buttons!!  I learned a lot from him and thanks to him, I'm able to go work out and use a lot of the equipment without looking like an idiot.  And even though the other 4 favs are more cardio-based, I believe it is extremely important to get circuits and weights in!  He is another reason as to why I'm in the best shape of my life! so yay! =)

I will leave you with a quote from Ellen Degenerous..

"It is important to stay in shape.  My grandma, she started walking 5 miles a day when she was 60.  She's 97 now and I have no idea where the hell she is."

(love her)

Does anyone have any fun exercises that they'd like to tell me about?  I love getting out there and trying new things but sometimes I'm horrible at thinking of things to try.
