2 Mile Walk Workout | Walk at Home

It's Workout Wednesday! I love "walk at home" especially in the snowy and cold months! Walk to the beat of the music and complete 2 miles in 30 minutes! It's so easy and fun, so what's your excuse? https://youtu.be/OavMd2j3DvU

Adrian Onsted Dance Center will be closed for the next 2 weeks for Christmas break, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take a break from practicing Tai chi or other forms of exercise!

Motivational Monday! "Get up and get moving!" "If you don't use it, you'll loose it!" "I will workout tomorrow!" Sound familiar? 😉

Throwback Thursday! "Francois Henri "Jack" LaLanne was an American fitness and nutrition guru and motivational speaker. He described himself as being a "sugarholic" and a "junk food junkie" until he was age 15. He also had behavioral problems, but "turned his life around" after listening to a public lecture about the benefits of good nutrition by health food pioneer Paul Bragg. During his career, he came to believe that the country's overall health depended on the health of its population, and referred to physical culture and nutrition as "the salvation of America." (Wikipedia) He lived to be 96 years young!

Workout Wednesday! What workout is best? Strength training, cardio, meditative movement, walking, running, swimming, yoga, stretching, rock climbing, isometrics, etc.? The answer is all of them! Make time in your schedule today to workout.🤔

Tutu Tuesday! Dance and fitness classes for all ages 3+ and all abilities, from recreational beginners through pre-professional. We have something for everyone, from special needs to seniors. Looking for a fun workout that improves memory and coordination? How about ballroom dance? Want to improve strength, flexibility, and balance? Try Tai chi. Check out our class schedule and contact info: https://www.adrianonsteddancecenter.com/

Motivational Monday! Today, make your physical health a priority in your life. Exercise helps reduce stress, improve mood and brain function, etc.. I always tell my students to find an exercise that they like to do, which they look forward to doing, and which helps them stick with it. Rather than being a drudgery and quitting before seeing any benefits why not try Tai chi or dancing? Take care!
